ADDRESS 


Delivered at the 1909 Memorial Service at Appleton Chapel, 
Cambridge, June 17, 1919, by the Rev. Norman B. Nash, 
Chaplain 150th F. A., 42d Division, U. S. A. 


F the fifteen names on our Roll of Honor five are those of 
men killed in action, or, as the French so much more finely 
say, “dead on the field of honor.” Braxton Bigelow, who repre- 
sented us in the army of Great Britain, was killed in Flanders, a 
Captain of Field Artillery, in the British Expeditionary Force. 
Lieut. Hugh Blanchard and Private Charles Lilly, both serving in 
the Infantry, were killed in the great counter-attack of July 18-19, 
1918, the turning-point of the decisive year. How little they or 
we dreamed, when they played side by side in the line of our Senior 
Class football team, that ten years later, within twenty-four hours 
of each other, they were to spend their all in a far greater game! 
Major James McKenna, 165th Infantry, was killed in that glorious 
and terrible day’s fighting across the Ourcg at the end of last July, 
an undying memory to all who had any share in it. Edward Perry, 
Lieutenant of Engineers, was killed on March 30, 1918, in a de- 
fensive action near the Bois des Tailloux. 

To these five men death came swift, violent, and merciful. To 
two others he came with more cruel and lingering step, for they are 
dead of wounds received in action. Of the record of Norman 
Prince, founder of the Lafayette Escadrille, it is needless to speak. 
One of those happy pioneers who anticipated our nation’s entry into 
the war, most famous name on our Roll, his honors speak for him, 
—member of the Legion d’Honneur, wearer of the Medaille Mili- 
taire and Croix de Guerre, he was wounded fighting in the air, and 
died in October, 1916. Corporal James Vought, U. S. Infantry, 
was carried aboard ship, one of those wounded men with a smile 
on their faces and in their hearts, because they were bound for 
“God’s country.” But he died soon after reaching this side, bound 
for God’s country indeed. 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


Four men died of disease. Lieut. Thaddeus Defriez and chief 
machinist’s mate, Raymond Smyth, were victims of the awful epi- 
demic of last year in the United States. Captain Nathaniel Simp- 
kins died in France of the same plague, after long and efficient 
service on the staff of the New England Division. The death of 
Goodwin Warner, lieutenant in the Mallet Reserve, was as heroic as 
any on our Roll of Honor, for after exhausting service in the great 
retreat from the Chemin des Dames he continued at his work, though 
completely worn out, with the fever raging in him, and was finally 
carried to the hospital, too weak to contend against it. He, too, lies 
dead on the field of honor. 

Three men met accidental death: Lieut. Arthur Mason Jones and 
Lieut. Charles McMichael in the United States, —McMichael’s 
death perhaps the most truly tragic of all; and Ensign Phillips Page, 
while flying in England, victim of the hazards of the air. 

It is the fashion nowadays for those who speak for any cause to 
summon to their side not only the living but the dead. To one 
orator it seems that they will have died in vain unless we enter the 
League of Nations; another calls on the Senate to preserve, by re- 
jecting the Covenant, the American liberties for which they died. 
Surely it is neither decent nor reasonable thus to conscript those 
who have gladly given all, to call to the witness-stand those whose 
voices are forever silent. But two of our honored fifteen seem 
to me to stand so clearly for two of the great motives with which 
men meet great challenges that I would speak of them before I 
close. 

To Norman Prince the war was the greatest adventure yet. I 
was among the group on the steps of the Law School to whom he 
told of his first flight, with high enthusiasm over the adventure. 
When the war came, he leaped to the opportunity for still higher © 
adventure, adding the thrill of combat to that of flight. Now I 
know that to those who have attained or anticipated the caution 
of middle age, whose life is symbolized by the carrying of a pre- 
cautionary umbrella, the spirit of adventure provides no lofty 
motive and no safe guidance. But after all, it is the adventurous 
who trace the untrodden paths, scale the unconquered peaks, and 
fly across the broad Atlantics. It is the adventurous who fight the 
battles in the air. And to-day on every hand we meet the call to 
adventure, whatever be our business or profession. Mankind is 


vill 


ADDRESS 


again on the march, and calls for scouts and pioneers who can greet 
the unknown with a cheer, and break trails amid danger, that other 
men may follow in safety. Thank God for the adventurous! In- 
spired by their memory and example, with more of their spirit may 
we go forward into the years that are ahead. 

The very antithesis of adventure stands in my memory, —the 
figure of Charles Lilly. Slow, quiet, inconspicuous, he passed four 
years among us, earnest student and devout Christian. The key to 
his life is the motive of service. As an undergraduate he served 
devotedly the cause of learning and loyalty to his friends. He went 
to Japan as missionary and teacher, serving his Master and the need 
of another race. It was in the same spirit, I am sure, that he went 
to France as a private in the Infantry, and gave his life that other 
men might live. He lived always, as he died, in the service. 

Few of us are capable of being aviators, fighting the world’s 
battles in the air. Most of us must be infantrymen and not officers, 
but enlisted men, carrying full packs along the dusty roads of the 
world’s everyday work. If we are to redeem our lives from the 
dullness of monotony and the canker of care, above all, if we are 
to be saved from the final futility of self-seeking, we must share 
with Charles Lilly the spirit of service. We must bring into our 
small lives the greatness of a cause to which we give ourselves. 
Thank God for those who serve! Inspired by their memory and ex- 
ample, with more of their spirit may we go forward into the years 
that are ahead. 

So living, in the spirit of adventure and the spirit of service, our 
names shall some day also stand on the Roll of Honor of the Class 
of 1909, as truly as any of these our friends, “dead on the field of 
honor.”

SECRETARY’S LETTER 


To the Class: 


| rae of the delay in publishing this report is due to the wis- 
dom of the War and Navy Departments in keeping so many 
good men in the service as long as possible; part to the difficulty 
of tracing many of them after their return to civilian life, and the 
rest has been my own fault, for which I apologize. 

If the report itself is found to be somewhat of a departure from 
the customary form, in that the usual list of degree holders and 
others is missing, and the alphabetical list of personal memoirs has 
been allowed to serve as the address list, it is only because the 
character of the book made it seem best to use the funds at our dis- 
posal for a permanent cover and good workmanship throughout, 
rather than for printing additional lists, the omission of which does 
not seem to detract materially from the interest, or impair the use- 
fulness of the book for reference purposes. 

Nobody who reads this report carefully can fail to be impressed 
with the magnitude of the sacrifices made, the spontaneous response, 
and the unselfish devotion shown by the Class to the needs of the 
country during the war. To that the brief narratives, owing to the 
modesty of the authors and the limitations of space, do not begin 
to do justice. 

Almost equally striking is the record of civilian achievement. It 
would be difficult to find any group of some seven hundred men 
emanating at the same time from a common source with such a 
diversity of interests, who in the short space of ten years can pre- 
sent a better record of useful and presumably remunerative accom- 
plishment, than does the Class of 1909. The capacity of the Class 
as a whole to assume and discharge the responsibilities of peace and 
war is now proved beyond question. 

I am sorry to present such a long list of men from whom nothing 
has been heard directly. Of some of these I have been unable to 
find any trace since I assumed the duties of Secretary in 1915. There 
are many, however, who I am sure can be reached and whose failure 
to report can be attributed to thoughtlessness. The elimination or 


xi 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


reduction of this list before our next reunion is extremely im- 
portant; and I wish that every man who reads these lines would 
turn to the list immediately and let me know about any men whose 
names he sees thereon and of whose whereabouts he has definite 
knowledge. 

It has, of course, been necessary to edit and abridge many of the 
reports. Some of them, in fact, do not bear much resemblance to 
the original manuscripts. In spite of the lapse of time, however, 
since some of them were written, I hope that the report as a whole 
will be found reasonably accurate and up to date. 


Faithfully yours, 


Francis A. HarpDING, 
Secretary.

DECENNIAL, 1919 


THE DECENNIAL 


By Haroxp E. Porter 


ET us begin with statistics. There were 124 of us at Swamp- 
L scott for three solid days and three liquid nights, and the 
New Ocean House is there yet. Moreover, we still have 84 gallons 
of Bevo, 47 cases of White Rock, and a bottle of beer left for the 
next reunion. 

It was on Saturday, June 14, that the Class assembled at the 
Harvard Club of Boston at high noon, which, being interpreted, 
means in time for lunch, if you were one of the local conservatives, 
or in time for breakfast, if, like the Pitman brothers, you had come 
over on the Fall River Line from New York, and played fifty-cent 
poker all night in a five-dollar stateroom. It seems inconsistent. 

Nevertheless, a pleasant breakfast, or lunch, was reported as 
having been had by all, and the race to Swampscott started. Lewis 
Delafield, driving his new racing car, a multicylindered Nujol, won 
by two hours over Frank Huckins’ truck, carrying the baggage. In 
the meantime, a golf course had already been laid out in Polly 
Dougherty’s straw hat on the front lawn, and the 1909 Quarter- 
Pitching and Benevolent Association placed upon a firm footing in 
the gravel driveway. Tommy Ashwell is still trying to figure out 
how he won twenty cents in a quarter game. 

From that point forward, enthusiasm was rampant. The official 
hours of revelry were from 8 A.M. to 8 A.M., and if anybody got 
any sleep, it counted as pure velvet. While Joe Nourse and Jack 
Paine were leading their flock of trained seals into the icy waters 
of the bay, Sam Hoar, Alfred Dabney, and Dacre Bush were leading 
their flock of trained camels into the icy beverages of the bar. Bill 
Rand, acting as pinch-hitter for a reception committee, doled out 
hatbands, blazers, Victory medals, and a modern style of sidewalk 
conversation to all comers, and Laurie Lunt, as he stood behind a 
hedge with a blazer over his uniform, was taken for a barber by 
all the nurse-girls in the block. 


XV 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


Nearly everybody did something to deserve mention except Frank 
Rackemann, and he was too busy taking photographs for his 
scrapbook. Fritz Bacon borrowed a violin from the orchestra and 
enlivened our meals by wandering around the dining room and play- 
ing louder than the professional could. George Roosevelt and 
Frank Huckins had a race in sailing-dories, and George would have 
won if his supercargo hadn’t insisted on dragging his feet over- 
board. Fenton Taylor got pinched for murderous assault with 
intent to drive an automobile without a license, and sometimes there 
were as many as four baseball games going on at once, with Jack 
Frye and Gil Butler playing simultaneously in all four. Bunny 
Watson’s team made nineteen runs off “‘ Newt” Hartford (Yale News 
please copy). There was approximate golf at Tedesco for the es- 
thetic element, and there were movies in the ballroom every night 
for the high-brows. Then in addition we had our own private 
movies, taken all over, and shown on Monday night. Herman 
Goepper in his skipping-rope specialty was pretty good, but Long 
John Reynolds in his imitation of Mary Pickford on the rocks was 
considerably better. All the pictures were saved for use at future 
celebrations; and nothing is lacking except a scene in the submarine 
grill, showing Oswald Knauth and Charlie Brewer drinking butter- 
milk. 

We finished up with a dinner Monday night at which Ted Roose- 
velt and Art Cable were the principal speakers, and we elected Ted 
an honorary marshal, and Charlie Watkins made a corking good 
speech from the floor. Then there was nothing to do, including 
going to bed, until Tuesday morning, when we went over to Class 
Day, and Ed Kelley brought the Class Baby along again, and Ralph 
Bradley went and sat in the Stadium, and there were spreads and 
things, and it didn’t rain, either. We had a spread of our own in 
the Yard, so as to let each other’s wives, if any, look us over and 
decide whether it is safe to send the boy to college. 

Wednesday was a day devoted to manly exercises. They were 
supposed to be interclass contests, but they developed into a species 
of self-defense. There was a ball game with 1904 and another with 
1908, and if we’d won just one more game than we did, why, we’d 
have split even. The baseballers were Watson, Paine, Gleason, 
George Roosevelt, Potter, Butler, Shaw, Porter, Rackemann, Har- 
ding, Hamlen, Hartford, Harwood, and enough others to complete 


Xvi 


THE DECENNIAL 


a happy brotherhood. There was a spread at the Newell Boat- 
house with 1908 and 1904, and there would have been a boat race, 
too, if anybody would have rowed. But the food was good, and a 
band of Highland pipers entertained us, and somebody fell off the 
float, so that everything conspired to make the occasion a success. 
Subsequently, we all paraded to the Yale game, which Harvard 
won, except in the last half of the ninth. 

Those who were possessed of enough vitality then went to New 
London, and Frank Farquhar started back for San Francisco. 

The Decennial Committee was composed of Dick Harwood, Frank 
Huckins, Bobbie Means, and Ray Potter. The Publicity Committee 
was Frank Reynolds (who got out The Roundup) and Dick Har- 
wood. The Entertainment Committee was Bobbie Means, Charlie 
Inches, and Sam Hoar. Ray Potter, Jack Paine, and Ed Kelley 
were the Transportation Committee, but it took five men to handle 
the finances. They were Frank Harding, Frank Huckins, Johnny 
Cutler, Sohier Welch and Ned Currier.

FTER leaving College I spent three years in the Harvard Gradu- 
A ate School studying chemistry, and received my Ph.D. in 
1912. The next fifteen months I studied in Germany,— one sem- 
ester at the University of Berlin and one at the Kaiser Wilhelm 
Institute at Dahlem. The remainder of my time was spent in travel- 
ing about the various countries. 

From 1913 to 1916 I was instructor in organic chemistry at 
Harvard University, and since that time assistant professor of or- 
ganic chemistry at the University of Illinois. Just recently I have 


1 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


received an appointment as Professor of Organic Chemistry in 
charge of the division of Organic Chemistry. 

In January, 1918, I went to the Bureau of Mines Laboratory in 
Washington, and there took charge of a unit studying poisonous 
gases for offensive gas warfare. I remained in this capacity until 
summer, when the War Department absorbed the organization, and 
I was then commissioned Major in the Chemical Warfare Service. 
December 23, 1918, I was released from the service and returned to 
the University of Illinois. 

During the war period I was a member of the Organic Chemistry 
Committee and the Synthetic Drug Committee of the National Re- 
‘search Council, and incidentally developed for the Abbott Labo- 
ratories of Chicago methods of production of two of the most 
important synthetic drugs needed by the army and navy. In 1917 
I developed an organization at the University of Illinois for the 
preparation of the rarer organic chemicals which had always been 
imported from Germany, and which were not available in this 
country. Since that time we have prepared about twenty-five thou- 
sand dollars’ worth of these rare substances, some of them in lots 
no larger than one or two grams. At the present time this work is 
being continued and promises to be a permanent organization. In 
addition to my university work, I am consulting chemist for the 
Abbott Laboratories, Chicago.

AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


N June, 1909, with H. Gray, I left for China, first spending the 
| summer in Japan. During the year 1909-10 I taught at St. John’s 
College, Shanghai, and returned home in September, 1910, by way 
of Siberia and Europe. The next three years I spent in preparation 
for the ministry, —the first at the Union Theological Seminary in 
New York, the last two at the Cambridge Episcopal Theological 
School. I was ordained to the ministry in June, 1913, and in the 
following autumn went to work in Oklahoma, where for two years 
I was in charge of the churches at Claremore and Nowata. For the 
school year 1915-16 I was appointed as lecturer on Comparative 
Religion at the Episcopal Theological School at Cambridge, and 
that year I spent in study and teaching at Cambridge. 

The summer of 1916 I spent with Douglas Crocker (1910) in 
travel in Japan, Korea, and China, returning for another year of 
teaching at the Cambridge Episcopal Theological School. In May, 
1917, I entered the Harvard R. O. T. C., and served in Company I 
until the end of July. From August 1 to October 15 I was Field 
Director of the Red Cross Camp Service at Camp Wadsworth, 
Spartanburg, S. C. On January 17, 1918, I was commissioned as 
Chaplain and assigned to duty with the First Gas Regiment. On 
February 26, 1918, I sailed for France. My regiment, the only 
offensive gas unit in the A. E. F., was steadily in action from early 
June until the Armistice. Besides minor actions, we participated in 
the Chateau-Thierry offensive, the St. Mihiel operation, and the 
Argonne-Meuse operation, working at different times with nearly 
every division in the army. We reached New York on February 2, 
1919. I received my discharge two weeks later and returned for 
good to Cambridge, where I am now working as assistant professor 
of the History of Religion and Missions at the Episcopal Theological 
School.

plant and assumed the duties of assistant superintendent. When 
you read of the activities of the Ivorydale organization — its con- 
ference committee, its directorate of 25 per cent elected workmen — 
you may picture my business life trying to keep up with the hardest 
working bunch of hustlers that ever manufactured anything.

GEORGE LEON ATKINS 


Address Hotel Atlantic, Revere, Mass. 

Residence Ditto. 

Occupation Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Northeastern College, Bos-

Married Maybelle S. Brooks of Rockland, Maine. 


FTER receiving the Master’s degree in electrical engineering, 
1911, I entered the employ of the New York Central Railroad, 
and remained with this concern for four and one half years. Part 
of this time was spent in their Motive Power Department in the 
locomotive shops at West Albany, N. Y., and the Harmon shops 
of the Electrical Department. I dissected steam locomotives and 
boilers, repaired them, designed parts of them, and tested them. 
I thought then that I knew all that was necessary for an average 
engineer concerning the peculiar habits of such animals. In the 
electrical shops I repaired electrical locomotives and coaches and 
helped build about forty-five new multiple-unit coaches. 

I guess the officials by this time thought I knew too much, and 
so I was transferred to the Construction Department, Grand Central 
Terminal, New York. During the following two years I became 
more or less skilled in installing both mechanical and electrical 
apparatus in buildings, the office of mechanical engineer, which I 
was connected with, having jurisdiction over the entire New York 
City system. I designed several lighting systems. New stations 
were built at Rhinecliff, Rome, and Utica. If any of my good 
classmates find themselves in these edifices, kindly notice the light 
distribution, fixtures and their arrangement, etc. At that time I 
regarded these jobs as “good modern practice.” 

The next year was spent with the Stone and Webster Engineering

AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


Corporation on the “Technology Job,” Cambridge. I assisted in 
the design and layouts of the conduit systems for light and power 
circuits, switchboards, experimental panels, and ventilating motors 
arrangements. 

A vacancy in the Electrical Engineering Department of the Boston 
Edison Electric Illuminating Company gave me a chance of joining 
their forces. I remained there about a year and I learned much 
concerning the generating and distribution of electric power. 

A short time before the war brought its burdens upon this country 
I accepted a position with the Fore River Shipbuilding Corporation, 
Quincy, Mass. At that time a new Plant Engineering Department 
was being organized by former Stone and Webster men, and I seemed 
to fit in rather well. The boss and I got together a force of about 
thirty-seven draftsmen and, after they became familiar with the sys- 
tem we devised, a lot of important work was turned out. This office 
had charge of the layout of the shops in the Squantum Plant, in- 
cluding the purchase of all machine tools, their location, founda- 
tions, and a lot of resulting detail work. At the same time we 
handled two other large jobs, one being a large machine shop at 
Buffalo, capable of turning out nine complete turbines per week, 
and a boiler shop at Providence, R. I. 

After these shops were in successful operation I was appointed 
Professor of Mechanical Engineering in the Northeastern College, 
Boston, Mass. We had a large unit of the Student Army Training 
Corps. Our program was the same as that of the Institute of Tech- 
nology and our instruction was in some cases even better. I only 
wish to give credit to my fellow members of the Faculty, who stuck 
to the job and worked probably harder than they ever had done be- 
fore, even under the extremely difficult and unusual conditions. Our 
Juniors graduated that June, doing two years’ work in one and get- 
ting full value. That was a period of intensive education without a 
doubt. Well, let’s forget that now. I sleep better at any rate, and 
besides, I must blame the above for having to miss the bestest little 
reunion that was ever held at Swampscott.

Lieutenant, 101st Regiment Engineers. Was within a week com- 
missioned as a First Lieutenant and sailed with the regiment to 
France on September 25, 1917. Served with the regiment, prin- 
cipally on special duty, in all its action up to the Chateau-Thierry 
offensive in July, 1918. On the Chemin des Dames in March, 
1918, received the Croix de Guerre (Army Corps Citation) from the 
llth French Corps for volunteering to lead a party of engineer 
troops in a raiding action. At Montreuil aux Lyons in July, 1918, 
was decorated by General Pershing with the Distinguished Service 
Cross. The original recommendation for this honor as published 
in General Orders No. 28 to the 26th Division A. E. F. was for the 
Congressional Medal of Honor. This was, however, not awarded, 
the D. S. C. as above being given instead. A copy of the citation 
by General Edwards is attached. I believe that General Edwards

is now pushing the matter with a view to obtaining for me the Con- 
gressional Medal, to which he claims I am entitled. However this 
may be, as far as I am concerned the matter rests without any in- 
tervention on my part. 

In late July, 1918, I was selected for return to the States as an 
experienced officer of Engineers, to join a new regiment for return 
to France. A promotion to grade of Captain was given at this 
time. The Armistice prevented my reaching the front again and J 
was detailed to duty in the office of the Chief of Engineers, where 
I remained for a time, writing on various subjects and in charge of 
the Publications Branch of the Training Section. A recommenda- 
tion for promotion to a majority was started on November 1, 1918, 
but it did not have sufficient velocity in the military channels 
through which it had to pass to get under the barrier to all pro- 
motions which was erected the day following the cessation of 
hostilities,

Braxton Bigelow 


RAXTON BIGELOW of New York was the son of Major John 

Bigelow, U. S. A. When the war broke out he was engaged 
in mining engineering in Peru. He returned to New York in De- 
cember, 1914, and sailed for England on December 26. He was 
first with the American Ambulance Field Service, and later went to 
Servia with a hospital unit from London, receiving a medal for 
his devoted and unselfish work in this field. 

He returned to England in April, 1915, and obtained a commis- 
sion as Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery, and was sent to the front. 
Later he joined the Royal Engineers and early in the summer of 
1915 was made a Captain. He was slightly wounded in August, 
and after sick leave in England returned to France, where he re- 
mained with his sector near Lens until June 23, 1916. He was 
mentioned for gallantry in May and was cited for bravery and dis- 
tinguished service in the last attack in which he participated. 

At about 9.15 on the evening of July 23, 1916, a raid was carried 
out by three hundred and twenty men of the First Leicesters, 6th 
Division, on the “ Hairpin,” as far as the enemy’s second line, with 
orders to hold the position until 10.50 p.m. A small party consist- 
ing of Captain Bigelow and six other men was detailed to accom- 
pany the raid and investigate the most northern of the “ Hairpin” 
craters, in which aerial observation had detected some work declared 
by the experts in aeroplane photographs to be a mine shaft. Cap- 
tain Bigelow was not tied down to any fixed time, but it was sug-

gested that at “zero x 30” the situation would have developed suf- 
ficiently to enable him to carry on his work. Shortly after zero 
(about 2 minutes) the party left the trenches, and proceeding north 
through the craters, arrived at their objective and made an examina- 
tion of the suspected work. They then entered the enemy front line, 
suffering three casualties, one killed and two wounded, as they were 
evidently in advance of the Infantry mopping-up party. Leaving 
one man to look after the wounded, Captain Bigelow proceeded 
south along the front line, destroying a dugout, from which the 
enemy was sniping, with a mobile charge borrowed from the In- 
fantry. He then turned up the communication trench and found 
an enemy mine shaft, which he descended with one man, leaving 
the other on top as sentry. Having captured a prisoner in the 
lateral, under rifle fire from the north lateral, he turned south and 
eventually emerged by another shaft. Meantime the two men had 
recaptured the prisoner, and having lost touch with Captain Bige- 
low, returned with the prisoner to the British lines. This was about 
10.15 p.m. At 9.40 O. C. moppers-up met Captain Bigelow and 
replied to his questions as to positions of mine shafts and tunnel 
entrances. This must have been after Captain Bigelow had exam- 
ined the crater and before he had descended the enemy mine. A 
private reported that at about 10.25 he was stationed by Captain 
Bigelow at the entrance of a dugout with orders to allow no one 
up or down. Captain Bigelow then went along the trench and was 
not seen again. The private remained at his post until the signal 
for withdrawal, when he returned with the rest of the party. 

A private in the Royal Engineers, 170th Tunneling Company 
(Captain Bigelow’s), made the following report through the British 
Red Cross: “I was in No. 1 Section with Captain Bigelow. We 
were at Hulluch, in front of Lens, and we were making a raid into 
the German trenches. I saw Captain Bigelow with a German pris- 
oner. He was marching behind him with drawn revolver, and he 
was going into the German mines to explore them, and he never 
returned. We held the line, so know he never came back. It is 
probable that Germans were lurking there. He was a young and 
capable officer.”

IEUTENANT BLANCHARD graduated from the Harvard Law School 
| Ey in 1912, was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar, and until the 
time of his enlistment practiced law in Boston in the office of his 
father, John S. Blanchard. He was married in 1916. In 1917, soon 
after the United States entered the war, Blanchard, who had been an 
Officer in the Eighth Regiment, M. V. M., remained in the service 
when his company was merged with Company L of the 104th Regi- 
ment, U. S. Army. 

After a period of training in this country he was assigned to 
Company L, 104th Infantry, 26th Division, and sailed for France 
October 4, 1917. 

On one occasion he was sent out in command of twenty men, 
Americans and French, at Chemin des Dames, to reconnoiter the 
enemy’s line. While engaged in this he located the work which 
later proved to be the emplacement of the long-distance gun which 
was used in shelling Paris. He was discovered by the enemy and 
a general alarm was given, causing a fierce firing by both sides, 
and although greatly outnumbered with his detail in danger of 
annihilation he brought safely back all but five of his men. After 
the firing had ceased and an unsuccessful search had been made 
for the missing, he was given, at his earnest request, the privilege

FTER graduation I spent three years at the Philadelphia Divinity 
School, and during vacation traveled in France, Germany, and 
England. I received the degree of S.T.B. from the Philadelphia 
Divinity School in 1912 and an A.M. from the University of Penn- 
sylvania in 1916. 

Since that time I have been living in Clifton Heights, Pa., a mill 
town of about 4000 population, and the activities in the parish are 
many and varied, including Scouts, Discussion Groups, meetings of 
various kinds, as well as the regular religious services. Outside of 
the parish and community work I have been interested in the Sun- 
day schools of Delaware County, which work has recently extended 
to conferences throughout the state. I have also been on the Council 
of Boy Scouts of Delaware and Montgomery counties and have been 
scoutmaster of two troops. Incidentally, I joined the local fire 
company and have learned to drive the motor apparatus. 

As to the war, I wanted to go but felt I should not, and therefore 
tried to load on all I could to help out. I was chairman of the local 
branch of the American Red Cross and served on the Speakers’ 
Bureau. I was vice chairman of the Army and Navy League, a 
local service organization which was most active. It involved the 
dissemination of information, the distribution of necessities to the 
men when they joined the service, care of their families in conjunc- 
tion with the Red Cross, etc. I also took some part in each of the 
Liberty Loan campaigns, and through the American Protective 
League was able to give some little assistance to the Department of 
Justice. Also in the summer of 1918 I took an office job in order 
to hold it down for a man overseas. Since the Armistice the Red 
Cross work has been largely home service and acting as the clearing 
house for all government regulations regarding back pay, extra 
mileage, overdue insurance premiums, etc., but things have now 
settled down pretty nearly to normal.

M.B.A., in June, 1910, I got a job with a very small railroad between

AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


Denver and Greeley, Colo., as helper on machinist, blacksmith, and 
boiler work, also serving as extra fireman and frequently as extra 
engineer. The railroad, the working conditions, and the work done 
were all crude. 

In November, 1910, I joined a party of Colorado and Southern 
railway civil engineers who were sent into the field on very short 
notice to complete the preliminary survey and to run the location 
and construction surveys for a new branch line from Fort Collins, 
Colo., to Cheyenne, Wyo. [I lived in tents with this outfit for just 
a year, by which time passenger and freight trains were already in 
operation over the new work. 

In December, 1911, I entered the employ of the Wabash Railroad 
as fireman on the Springfield division, but in the course of a couple 
of months was appointed Inspector of Fuel Service on the staff of 
Superintendent of Locomotive and Car Department, with headquar- 
ters at Springfield, Ill. During the following twelve months I 
traveled over 60,000 miles, about 25,000 miles of which was on 
locomotives. 

In 1913 I devoted the greater part of my time, under instructions 
from the general manager, making investigations and tests, working 
up statistics, and starting new systems of cost accounting. 

In February, 1914, I entered the Purchasing and Supply De- 
partment of the Wabash, with headquarters at St. Louis, as 
chief of Fuel Department, and for a year was in charge of the 
purchase, distribution, and accounting for all coal and cross-ties. 
The Wabash Railroad consumed about five thousand tons of coal 
daily. 

On March 1, 1915, I was appointed Special Inspector on the staff 
of the general manager of the Boston and Maine Railroad, to de- 
vote my time particularly to various phases of the fuel economy 
problem. 

War Record: Commissioned Captain Engineers June 9, 1917. As- 
signed to 14th Engineers (Railway) June 22, 1917. This regiment, 
raised from the employees of the New England railroads, was mus- 
_ tered into service late in June, 1917. The old site of the Rockingham 
fair, Salem, N. H., was chosen as a training camp. The companies 
were distributed among the grand stands and live-stock exhibition 
sheds and intensive training was immediately commenced in the 
neighboring hayfields and on the race track. In less than a month

the regiment was on its way overseas! In many ways the regiment 
had the appearance of a veritable rag-time army. To be sure, most 
of the men had uniforms, or at least part of a uniform, but many 
were short of ordnance equipment. And what ordnance equipment 
it was! — old Spanish war stuff with a generous sprinkling of pre- 
Spanish war stuff. Three days after landing in England we car- 
ried through the London streets and in review before the king the 
Krag rifles which only two weeks before leaving this country we 
had unpacked in order to start our drill of the manual of arms. 
(Ninety per cent of the officers were as green as the men.) The 
length of Krag rifles makes an imposing sight; but we hear that the 
earnest expression on the faces of our men was the most impressive 
feature of the parade. To us that march behind the pipers of the 
Irish Guards through miles of thundering welcome was the greatest 
emotional experience of our lives. It is a fact that not only were 
our expressions earnest but that many of us cried. 

Four days after the London parade we were in France. The 
very next day we began our training in gas defense, and six days 
later we were on the Somme front. Within a week after arriving 
in the forward area we had taken over the operation of light rail- 
ways in the area between Arras and Bapaume, with charge of the 
distribution and delivery of ammunition to the guns, and of rations, 
engineer material, small arms, and trench mortar ammunition to 
the troops in line. At this time, when we were running sometimes 
within one thousand yards of the enemy and in full observation, 
we had several men still wearing in part, the civilian clothes and the 
worn-out shoes in which they had enlisted! 

It was not until nine months later that the regiment withdrew 
from the combat area. During this time it was constantly en- 
gaged in the siege warfare, except that during the battle of Cam- 
brai, November, 1917, and to a much greater extent in the German 
drive of March, 1918, the regiment was involved in anything but 
stationary warfare. However, May, 1918, found us still on the job 
up in a salient running what was left of our old system, building 
a new system, and constructing new lines of entanglement and 
trenches. (The Krags had been replaced by the British Enfields 
and Lewis guns, and odd moments were given to the instruction of 
bayonet drill.) 

June and July, 1918, were passed in “ rest ” — constructing rail-

road yards and detours in the vicinity of Calais in one of the tough- 
est areas for bombing raids in the war. 

In July I left the regiment (which was ordered down to the Ameri- 
can Army mix-up near Chateau-Thierry) and was attached to the 
Headquarters of the 2d American Army Corps, then being organized 
to administer the American divisions in training in the British area. 
Finding myself rather a free lance and with competent orders and 
transportation, [ availed myself of the opportunity to visit the most 
important sectors of the British front. I thus took an active, though 
often enough an unofficial, part in the marvelous British “ come 
back ” on the line from the Sommeto Ypres. The British Army with 
its tail in the air and plunging ahead after years of punishment and 
disappointment was a wonderful sight. To me there was a particu- 
lar pleasure in seeing recaptured the country with which I had been 
so familiar and from which we had been driven in March. So far 
as I know I was the only American present in person who had been 
through the affair of March 21. One felt, however, as though Ed- 
ward Perry and those other heroes who by giving their lives had 
saved the allied armies in France from certain defeat, and who 
had made this recovery of our arms possible, were ever present 
in spirit. 

The engagements in which I took part at this time were first in the 
winning back of the old Somme battle fields near Bapaume; then 
the attacks near Mt. Kemmel, Belgium, followed, after a couple of 
weeks of reconnaissance work for the British 3d Army, opposite 
Cambrai, by the break of the Hindenburg line by the Australian 
and American troops across the St. Quentin Canal. 

A sudden and not unpleasant respite from the strafing came in 
early October, when I was ordered to attend an inter-allied confer- 
ence on 60 cm. light railways held in a delightfully appointed 
hunting lodge near Fontainebleau. De Luxe trips were made to 
the British, French, and American fronts in high-powered staff cars. 
In early November I was appointed Inspector of Light Railways for 
the Ist Army, then engaged in the Meuse-Argonne territory. Sev- 
eral hundred miles of newly captured German light railway track in 
various stages of disrepair made the job interesting.

FTER my four years of undergraduate life I spent my last day 
A engaged in the customary functions, devoting a certain amount 
of time to quenching a thirst that the heat of late June had excited 
to an extraordinary degree. The beverages, I remember, ranged 
from tea to vodka, and were sinfully against the teaching and 
wishes of the present guardians of our health and efficiency. Dur- 
ing that evening Jack Thomas and I went to a revival of “Floradora,” 
and by closing one eye managed through monocular vision to reduce 
the sextet from twelve to six, and enjoyed the show with that degree 
of enthusiasm that put the Lagrange Street station on the map. 

About midsummer I went to central Alberta to enjoy the excel- 
lent wild-fowl shooting that was to be found there. Early in the 
autumn my fondness for outdoor life led me to go “ pardners” with 
a French-Canadian for the winter’s trapping. This was very chilly, 
hard work, and our shack was miserably cold, but the work was 
interesting to me as it had always been one of my schoolboy hobbies. 

Financially we about “ broke even,” but I look back with no little 
pleasure upon the days in the crystal air and the white nights under 
the northern lights with the dreary serenading of the coyotes. And 
I also remember a moonlight night when I was driving a miserable, 
broken-down quadruped that had been loaned me when I asked for 
a horse. A large timber wolf a short distance behind us was show- 
ing an interest in our progress that was distinctly personal, and hav- 
ing only a hunting knife I pondered upon the thought of his being 
joined by a pack that some miles south was killing full-grown cattle 
with astonishing ease. My horse, so-called, looked at a distance 
like a clothes rack upon which a buffalo robe had been thrown, but 
the sled and I spoiled the camouflage. As the very fires of hell 
could not have consumed him, I figured that the good eating was 
on the sled. However, “Slow but sure” won the day. 


40 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


Late in the winter of 1910 I came East and joined “Gug” 
Davis, 09, at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, for we had 
already decided that most of the world’s poverty was due to a woe- 
ful ignorance of agricultural lore. By this time “Gug” had ab- 
sorbed a great fund of learning, and could talk profoundly of 
manure, acid soils, the incorporation of humus, and divers other 
allied topics. I myself found the studies singularly interesting and 
became quite sapient, whatever that is. 

June found me with sufficient time on my hands to get a little 
fresh air, so for a couple of months I went mate on a swordfisher- 
man out of Nantucket. The fishing was poor, very poor. For some 
reason that I cannot explain, whenever I go a-fishing all the de- 
sirable species completely change their migrations and habits — 
the harpoon lies unused, or I completely exhaust myself hauling 
in fathoms of line with a heavy sinker to see if the bait is worn out. 

Late in the summer “Gug” and I secured a farm in Shirley, 
Mass.,——a very desirable peace of land, comprising, as I remem- 
ber, about one hundred and seventy acres. There for about a year 
we toiled at such employment as was necessary for the development 
of a farm, setting out a veritable forest of fruit trees, as we had de- 
cided this to be the most profitable line of work. 

Then the illness of my father forced me to return home for a 
considerable time, and I sold out to “ Gug”; he is still on the job 
and, I am glad to say, is “ making good.” 

Remaining at home I had sufficient leisure to take up my old 
hobby of natural history, and spent considerable time in the library 
and rooms of the Boston Society of Natural History. This con- 
tinued until early in the spring of 1913, when I was asked by the 
authorities of the Agassiz Museum of Harvard if I cared to go as 
naturalist with a sportsmen’s expedition to Bering Sea and the 
Arctic. I accepted with great pleasure. The sportsmen were all 
Harvard men, — Eben S. Draper, 715; John Heard, Jr., 712; Samuel 
Mixter, 712; Dunbar Lockwood, 713; and George S. Silsbee, *13. 
Another naturalist, Joseph Dixon, Leland Stanford, ’09, accom- 
panied us. 

We left Seattle on April 3 on an eighty-four foot schooner built. 
especially for work in the ice. Proceeding up the inside passage 
of southeastern Alaska we collected specimens at various places. 


Thence through Cross Sound, across the Gulf of Alaska, to Kodiak 


41 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


and the Semidi Islands, at the latter place taking two birds new to 
science. Then along the Alaskan coast to Unalaska and the Aleutian 
Islands, stopping at Bogoslof, Atka, and Attu Islands. From here 
we went to the Kommander Islands, the group consisting of Copper 
and Bering Islands, the latter being where Vitus Bering, the great 
explorer, lost his life. Then a short sail brought us to Petropay- 
lovsk, the only real settlement of Kamchatka, a filthy town beauti- 
fully situated in a little valley and guarded by two large active 
volcanoes. Thence we cruised north to Cape Shipunski and Cape 
Africa, and being barred by ice steered for St. Lawrence Island, 
where we saw our first Esquimaux, they being rather more prepos- 
sessing than the Aleuts. 

June was spent on the Chukchi Peninsula, the eastern extremity 
of Asia, at various bays, points, and Esquimaux villages. It was 
very interesting, especially the natives, who are vastly more pic- 
turesque than those of Alaska or the Mackenzie River Delta. Dur- 
ing this month I adopted “13” as my lucky number. On Friday, 
June 13, 1913, with thirteen men on board, we worked into Provi- 
dence Bay just ahead of a veritable continent of ice. As we rounded 
a sheer 2000-foot cliff at the mouth of the bay an oar could touch 
the ice on the port side and the cliff to starboard. It was jolly 
boating weather. 

In mid-July we spent some time at Nome and then went through 
Bering Strait across the “ circle,” an experience that has the thrill 
but not the “rough stuff” that characterizes crossing the equator, 
where the game, as far as I experienced it, was to throw a man into 
the canvas swimming tank before he could remove his watch, letters, 
or pocketbook, to say nothing of clothes within the limits of 
propriety. 

After a brief cruise along the arctic coast of Siberia we crossed 
to Cape Lisburne, thence around Point Barrow. Soon we were 
bucking the most unfavorable conditions of both ice and weather. 
After an August of nothing but snowstorms, and our good vessel 
being shoved and jammed about by ice on every side, I began to 
wonder why people came to such a country, and why J should be 
included in that small group that Fate had selected from upward 
of fifteen hundred million people. It was not long before I realized 
why many remain, for we were “stuck proper,” as they say, on the 
“beach.” It was annoying, for we had planned to be home that

autumn. After a period of very arduous work we went into winter 
quarters on Humphrey Point, a mere sand spit, our residence being 
a 15 by 30 camp made of driftwood, sails, and blocks of ice. This 
was October 5. A month later we were hopelessly frozen in. 

It was a long winter and time seemed to run about fifty hours to 
the day during the two months when the sun was gone. Our diet 
was not particularly attractive from a bon vivant’s point of view: 
one week we would have flapjacks, beans, and rice, the next week 
beans, rice, and flapjacks, then for a while we might have rice, flap- 
jacks, and beans. Our favorite winter sport was tying up dog har- 
nesses with bare hands at forty to fifty degrees below zero. 

In March I went a short distance east to Demarcation Point and 
took charge of one of Stefansson’s supply depots, collecting in that 
vicinity when the birds came north again. For two months I was 
alone, and as I did not see any water on the Arctic Ocean until 
July 19 I feared I would not be picked up by our schooner. I 
shipped on a small trading schooner and with a motley gang of 
good tough beachcombers worked my way back to Point Barrow. 
From there I was lucky enough to get to Nome on the Revenue 
Cutter Bear; then to Seattle, and Boston about October 1, being 
sixty-three days from winter quarters. 

I was then offered the position of curator of birds at the Boston 
Society of Natural History, which has since been my employment 
when home. 

Early in 1915 I went to Cuba for two months’ zodlogical collect- 
ing with Dr. Thomas Barbour, 06. After the Arctic experience | 
could scarcely realize that any place could be so delightfully warm 
and pleasant. 

In August, 1915, I went down the east coast of South America to 
the Falkland Islands, where I worked for six months in the interests 
of the Agassiz Museum. Returning via the Straits of Magellan and 
the west coast of South America, I reached Boston late in the spring 
of 1916. 

Early in the year 1917 I went to Cuba again with Dr. Barbour, 
and this time had the great pleasure of Goodwin Warner’s company. 
He was the most perfect companion in the city or the jungle that 
I ever conceived of. After being more or less hampered by the 
revolution at that time we came north when the United States de- 
clared war.

I enlisted immediately in the Naval Reserve at Newport, R. I.,. 
and after a considerable delay was called to active service. I vol- 
unteered for the mine-laying force, in which I was a “gob” until 
March, 1918, when, as a result of illness and an operation, I trans- 
ferred to the Department of State, going to the West Indies on con-. 
fidential business. A year in the tropics and six weeks in the 
Everglades of Florida brought me home again in May, 1919. 

A miscalculation of time on a collecting excursion prevented my 
attending the reunion, and from data picked up since then I cer- 
tainly missed something. 

A late summer trip to Anticosti Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence 
brings my activities up to the present time, and, as I mess around 
the bird collection, I look at the dull November sky and wish that 
I also might migrate and once more wander through a good hot, 
snaky jungle.

AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


ENTERED Harvard Law School in the fall of 1909 and continued 
| my studies there until June, 1912, when I graduated. In July, 
1912, I took up my residence in Boston and at once became associ- 
ated with the law firm of Anderson, Sweetser and Wiles at 84 State 
Street. I remained with this firm until October, 1914, when I re- 
turned to Fall River, my home, and commenced practice with the 
law firm of Swift, Grime and Swift. I am at the present time a 
partner in the same firm, which is now known as Swift, Grime and 
Buffinton. 

I engage in a general law practice. If I specialize in any one 
branch I would say that it is in the defense of actions of tort. I 
have an active trial business and a great deal of my time is spent in 
court. 

From March, 1918, to January, 1919, I was in the United States 
Army. I enlisted as a private in the Ordnance Corps and was dis- 
charged as Sergeant in the same branch of the service. Aside from 
a brief preparation at Dartmouth College, all of my time in the 
army was spent at Camp Hancock, Ga., and Camp Fremont, Cal. 
I was stationed in Camp Fremont from the first of July, 1918, until 
I was discharged on January 15, 1919. Slight physical disability 
in my left knee made me ineligible for the Officers’ Training camps, 
and I was also exempted in the first two drafts. I was able, how- 
ever, to have my services accepted as a private in the Ordnance 
Corps, and although I spent a great deal of time running a truck 
in and out of freight cars, I feel that I contributed something.

AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


In July, 1915, he enlisted as a Lieutenant in the British Red 
Cross, and during the battle of the Yser was in charge of a hospital 
behind the lines. The hospital was bombed in broad daylight by 
a German aviator. Burton at once volunteered for fighting and en- 
listed as a “Tommy” in the Royal Fusiliers, October 29, 1915; 
went to the Officers’ Training School in Oxford, England; was com- 
missioned a Second Lieutenant in the 4th Kings (Liverpool) Regi- 
ment, and went to France on December 8, 1916. 

He participated in the battles of the Somme, Ancre, Arras, Bulle- 
court, and was severely wounded at Fontaines-les-Croiselles on 
May 20, 1917. After a period of convalescence in England, al- 
though physically weakened, he rejoined the army when America 
entered the war, and after being twice rejected, was finally commis- 
sioned First Lieutenant of Infantry, U. S. Army, in February, 1918, 
assigned to the Second Army Corp, A. E. F., with which he partici- 
pated in engagements at the Hindenburg line north of St. Quentin, 
the capture of Bohain, Montre Bohain, and the attack on the 
Le Salle River. 

He returned to the United States in February, 1919, was honor- 
ably discharged in March, and died at his home in Cincinnati, as a 
result of the wounds mentioned above, on March 24, 1920. 

Dr. Grenfell writes as follows: 


“War is hell and no war is ever over. Its baneful ripples forever 
leave their imprint on mankind. 

“Some eight years ago a young Harvard graduate came north to 
help us in our work in Labrador. By day or night, in summer or 
winter, over the land by dog-sledge or over the sea in boats, he was 
always ready to go at a moment’s notice to carry help to the man in 
need. His training in the rudiments of medicine, for he had spent a 
year and a half at the Harvard Medical School, made him doubly 
helpful to us and to the Coast. His irrepressible good nature made 
him see humor in positions that to others would have been discourag- 
ing and repellent. His invariably smiling face made him welcome 
in every cottage along our long shores. On many an errand of mercy 
he was the real effective, for he learned to know the long trails, and 
how to pilot tenderfoot workers to their destination as unerringly as 
he directed the motor yawls he loved so well through the tortuous 
channels of our uncharted coast line. If there was a job to be done 
that needed tough work, long hours, and that seemed more monoto- 
nous than usual, too readily it was assumed, ‘Oh, Caspar will go,’ 
and he always did. On one long trip we made together in the sailing 
yawl Floradel, from Indian Harbor to St. Anthony, we pressed on

day and night, as we were short of time and eager to make the hos- 
pital. It was in the late fall and there was much ice about the thin . 
wooden sides of the little vessel. It was an exciting trip, for in the 
long darkness storms unforeseen arrived and no friendly lighthouse 
was there to give us a chance to make harbor till daylight broke. It 
was my luck to be captain and doctor. A famous Princeton football — 
captain was able seaman, mate, and larboard watch. Caspar, as 
usual, assumed the hard jobs: was cook, steward, and general facto- 
tum, below decks — an exacting task enough for any man under the 
conditions. Still he would join me on the watch. It was on such 
occasions I learned to love the real Caspar, camouflaged so cleverly 
behind an attitude so light-hearted to the world that at times it seemed 
almost cynical. I was content to be sleeping below if Caspar was 
at the helm. 

“ After three years, war broke out, and with his experience of sur- 
gical work he felt the British Red Cross might accept his services. 
Freely, without one cent of remuneration, he had ever served our 
people in times of peace. It was so characteristic of him that he, an 
American, should respond to this new call to serve for the world — 
and just as gladly he has now laid down his life for his ideals. His 
hospital of white canvas plastered with red crosses was bombed in 
broad daylight three miles behind the Belgian lines by a German 
aviator. 

“Caspar at once volunteered for fighting service and enlisted as 
a British ‘Tommy.’ He was recommended for the military medal 
for heroic work near Bullecourt. Badly wounded in his successful 
enterprise of turning the enemy from half a mile of trench, while 
lying in England in the hospital his case was somehow overlooked — 
a fact his mind only laughed at. Though really unfit to rejoin the 
army, when America entered the war, nothing could restrain him, 
and though twice rejected he was at last appointed Sub-Lieutenant 
and again saw front-line service. 

“ But he had been more severely hurt than his best friends knew, 
and when we met again, he was on his last sick-bed at his home in 
Cincinnati. Worn and ill as he was, not one iota of his optimism 
and courage had left him. He had suffered — God only knows how 
keenly — but he had won out, and was prepared to face even the 
life of a crippled man. We learned many lessons in the sickroom of 
this brave young hero to whom God has now spared the trial that he 
feared above all else. | 

“The Kingdom of God cannot be built on earth by words, vital 
as propaganda is recognized to be; it is what we do that speaks 
loudly and is heard. The only force that can ever build the univer- 
sal kingdom that shall be eternal is the force of love, and that spreads 
only by contagion from one life to another. To some is given the 
gift of tongues. Be grateful those who have it. To Caspar Burton

it was given to see the vision and to follow it. He leaves behind in 
the hearts of those who knew him an echo of that same love that 
counted itself as naught —that eternal force making for righteous- 
ness and peace, which is man’s highest dignity and glory however 
feebly here on earth he reflects it. 

“ With the many who have given their lives for ours, we shall meet 
him in the ranks of those who were faithful unto death, and to whom 
a righteous judge can say, ‘ Well done.’ ”

Occupation Lawyer, with Archibald Cox, Esq., 233 Broadway, New York 
City. 

FTER graduating from the Harvard Law School in June, 1912, 
A I entered upon the practice of law in New York City in the 
office of Archibald Cox, Esq., where I remained until my departure 
for France. 

Went to France on May 19, 1917, to join the Norton-Harjes Vol- 
unteer Ambulance Service with the French Army. During the 
summer and fall of 1917 served with the S. S. U. 21 stationed 
at various points on the front near St. Quentin. On October 4, 
1917, I enlisted in the United States Army Ambulance Service with 
the French Army. This was the name of the service, but the sec- 
tion of which I was a member, S. S. U. 647, was loaned to the 
American Army. After a tiresome winter at an American base 
hospital at Neufchateau, we were sent to the front in the Toul Sector 
and attached to the 26th Division of the American Army. We 
worked with this division during the so-called battle of Seicheprey 
on April 20 and 21, 1918. We then served with the 82d Division, 


and moved with them to Pont-a-Mousson, where we were at the

time of the St. Mihiel drive. We participated in the Meuse-Argonne 
drive during the advance from Varennes to St. Juvan, getting within 
sight of Grand Pré before the division was relieved. In the twelve 
days we were in action I saw more war than in all the rest of my 
time in France put together. 

I was honorably discharged in France on March 27, 1919, and 
arrived in New York on May 20, after an absence of two years and 
one day.

ARTHUR GOODRICH CABLE 


Address Hubbards Woods, IIl. 
Residence Ditto. 
Occupation Joint Manager of Chicago Office, Montgomery & Co., 137 South 
La Salle St., Chicago, Ill. 
Married Elizabeth Tennis, Nov. 16, 1912. 
Children Peter, Nov. 14, 1913 
Arthur Goodrich, Jr., March 23, 1916. 


N the fall of 1909 I went to work for the Cable Company, a piano 
| concern, in which my family had previously had an interest. In 
1911 I attempted to purchase controlling interest in that business 
from the present owners; and that attempt being unsuccessful, I 
decided to enter the banking business. My start in the banking 
business was with a local firm of commercial paper brokers, and 
after a year of that I joined the Chicago office of Hathaway, Smith, 
Folds and Company, a New York concern. 

When the United States declared war, in April, 1917, I went to 
Washington and became assistant to Mr. Howard Coffin, then a 
member of the Advisory Commission of the Council of National 
Defense. I arrived the 15th of April, but Currier had preceded me 
by a few days. We did a little of everything for a while there, from 
tending switchboard to sidetracking senators, and when the Air- 
craft Production Board was organized, May 15, I was put in as 
Secretary of that Board. I spent that summer in Washington and 
managed to survive the wear and tear of the hectic days of those 
first months. In September the various members of the Board were 
put in the army one day, and I became a Captain in the Aviation 
Section of the Signal Corps. By October I had convinced my as- 


ol

CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


sociates that my proper station was in Paris, and I sailed at the 
end of that month for France. 

Soon after arrival a board, known as the “Joint Army and Navy 
Aircraft Committee,” was formed by a general order of the Com- 
mander-in-Chief to represent the Aircraft Board of Washington in 
various negotiations with the Allied Air Boards on matters indus- 
trial, of which committee I was a member. 

I had had the impression in Washington during the summer of 
1917 that that was about as bad a place as one could find to fight 
the war in, but I think that Paris, during the winter of 1917-18, 
with the gloom following the Russian debacle and the British defeat 
at Cambrai and the hopelessness of the outlook at that time for the 
A. E. F., was worse. 

There seemed to be no special reason why I should stay on that 
job, and as I had become very much interested in the possibility 
of bombing operations as a factor in the war, I secured my release 
and was allowed to go to England to prepare myself in any way I 
saw fit to command an American Night Bombing Squadron, when, 
as, and if delivered. The first month was spent largely at the Air 
Board in London at the Old Cecil Hotel, working on matters of 
equipment and mobilization tables, and after a hurried trip back 
to Paris and Tours to plant the information thus received, I went 
down to Salisbury Plain, where I took a complete course in the 
Royal Air Forces, fitting me for Night-flying Pilot on Handley- 
Pages. By the end of August I was passed out as a duly qualified 
Pilot, and there being no American bombing squadron ready, I 
was given permission to go out attached to one of the night-flying 
squadrons of the Royal Air Forces. ? 

These squadrons were placed at the south end of the line, prac- 
tically in the Vosges, under command of General Sir Hugh 
Trenchard, with the sole purpose of bombing, both day and night, 
the industrial towns in the Rhine, Saar, and Moselle Valleys. I was 
attached to No. 216 Squadron during September and until the last 
day of October, when I was interfered with somewhat by the Huns. 
Thanks to a slight injury, I was enabled to reach Paris Armistice 
night, and then home via London. I arrived in New York early in 
December and was discharged on December 15, 1918. 

After a short holiday here in Chicago and Virginia I signed up 
with Currier and Roosevelt to open an office in Chicago for their

Epiror’s Note: Arthur Cable received an honorary degree of 
Master of Arts from Harvard on Commencement, 1919, for dis- 
tinguished service. President Lowell’s characterization when con- 
ferring the degree was “ Captain Arthur Goodrich Cable, who served 
as Secretary of the Aircraft Production Board, then at the American 
Air Service Headquarters in France, and finally in a Squadron in 
the Vosges until, on the eve of the Armistice, he was shot down and 
wounded.” 


EDWARD BAILEY CAIGER 


Address 18 Hubbard St., Concord, Mass. 
Residence Ditto. 
Occupation Lawyer, 101 Tremont St., Boston, Mass. 


RADUATED from the Harvard Law School in 1911 and began 

the practice of law in Boston. Was Progressive candidate 
for the House from the 13th Middlesex District, Massachusetts, in 
1912, but was defeated, and I have continued the practice of law. 

The war is the only thing of consequence which has entered my 
life in recent years. The end of May, 1918, found me at Fort 
Slocum, N. Y., where I was assigned to Field Artillery and went 
at once to Camp Jackson, S. C. About ten days after entering the 
army I was appointed an Acting Sergeant and received my warrant 
early in July. An opportunity to go to the Officers’ School at Camp 
Zachary Taylor was offered me in the form of a difficult examina- 
tion in algebra and geometry. Not having given any thought to 
either of these subjects for fourteen: years it is needless to state the 
result. 

July 21 I sailed from New York on the big British freighter 
Minniekahda. The first night out the submarine signal sounded 
and the guns of the Minniekahda fired on a submarine which ap- 
peared about two hundred feet off with its bow turned toward the 
engine-room. Off the north coast of Ireland German subs put in 
an appearance, but the convoy of destroyers, which had met the 
fleet, proceeded to sink two of them. The explosion of the depth 
bombs reverberated with sledge-hammer effect on the hull of our 


D3 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


vessel. We landed at Liverpool August 3, after a very interesting 
but rather sleepless voyage. Twelve hours later found the artillery 
outfits at Southampton via Birmingham, Oxford, and Stratford on 
Avon, after a journey through as beautiful country as I ever hope 
to see; thence across the channel to Cherbourg, and after a three 
days’ journey by train (French Pullmans, 40 Hommes or 8 Che- 
vaux) arrived at Camp Hunt at Lake Correau, about halfway be- 
tween Bordeaux and the Pyrenees. Here I remained a month and 
was initiated into the use of the French 75’s. In my one and only 
furlough, twelve hours, visited the seaside resort of Arcachon, — 
somewhat similar to Biarritz, a little farther south, —a very beauti- 
ful French resort town; and although there were few French people 
summering there because of the war, yet one had an opportunity to 
observe some of the finest types of French people, — cultivated, 
gentle, and courteous, but obviously saddened by the war. 

Early in September left a land of sunshine for one of perpetual 
rain and mud. [I started from Camp Hunt in a freight car, but at 
Bordeaux discovered a first-class coach ahead with an empty com- 
partment and in this eight of us passed a rather crowded and 
uncomfortable four days. We spent a day and a half in the 
freight yard of Paris at Noisy-le-Sec. Eiffel Tower and the towers 
of the Trocadero were plainly visible in the distance, but that was 
the most I ever saw of the city. From Noisy-le-Sec I went to Chateau- 
Thierry, Dormans, Chalons-sur-Marne, Epernay, and along the 
Marne River for several kilometers. The devastation wrought by 
the German artillery cannot be fully realized until one has seen it. 
Stayed one night at Camp de Tambourines at St. Dizier, which was 
the base in the advanced zone in the Verdun-St. Mihiel region. I 
was about five or six miles behind the lines on the road from 
St. Dizier to Toul the night the St. Mihiel drive began. At 1.30 a.m. 
a tremendous roar with a glowing red sky announced the beginning 
of the American drive. Had scarcely arrived in Toul the same night 
when a bombardment took place over our heads, lasting about two 
hours. A road ran along on the side of a hill across from the rail- 
road station and about 150 feet from the tracks. Two large French 
camions loaded with French 75 shells were passing along the road 
when in some way or other the shells began to explode, and the 
city of Toul had a rather wakeful night. From Toul, after wander- 
ing through rugged and hilly country, arrived at Wassy, where I 


54

was attached to Battery A, 120th F. A., 32d Division. With this 


outfit I put in several marches in continuous rain and mud on the 
way to the Argonne-Meuse front. The amount of activity in the 
advanced zone during the blackness of the night was truly wonder- 
ful, — ammunition trains, supply trains, artillery, machine-gun out- 
fits and infantry, and scores upon scores of trucks, chiefly French, 
ploughing along in the darkness, in the rain and mud, and without 
lights. 

Unfortunately my period of active duty with the 120th F. A. was 
short on account of illness, which obliged me to retire to a hospital 
for treatment, and I was sent back from Bauzée, a little town about 
halfway between Verdun and St. Mihiel partly demolished by shell 
fire, when I was on the threshold of the Argonne-Meuse. 

Base Hospital No. 14, to which I was sent at Mars-sur-Allier, 
about 15 kilometers south of Nevers in central France, proved to 
be one of several in a large hospital center intended to accommodate 
some 20,000 odd men. As I found I would have to remain there 
some two months or more, I gladly took on some work in connec- 
tion with the hospital, as it was insufferably dull doing nothing, 
and I was put in charge of a tent department just opened up to 
accommodate 250 patients. I worked days, and frequently nights, 
to help the cause along, feeling that there were men who needed 
attention more than I did. I can testify that at this hospital center 
at least the medical units, both officers and enlisted men, worked 
day and night with scarcely any respite until after the Armistice 
was signed. On November 11 Base Hospital No. 14, which was 
supposed to accommodate 1000 patients, had 1800. 

The countryside around Mars was rich in historical incident: 
walls built by the Romans, cathedrals in neighboring towns in which 
Joan of Arc had worshiped, and through this country came Napo- 
leon on his return from Elba. 

December 17 I started for Brest, from which port I sailed on 
Christmas Day for the United States on board the U. S. S. Northern 
Pacific. Except for a rather rough but quick passage, the voyage 
home was uneventful until New Year’s morning, when the navigat- 
ing officers of the vessel must have decided the quickest way into 
New York was across Fire Island and, therefore, proceeded to run 
the vessel ashore not more than a hundred yards off the beach, even 
though it was not foggy and Fire Island light was plainly visible

ahead. Over two very uncomfortable days were spent on the vessel, 
and on the first a southeaster blew up and pounded the vessel hard. 
On the third day the troops got off the vessel by the rope ladders 
into lifeboats and were carried off to vessels lying near by. The 
trip of fifty-five miles to Hoboken on a small mine sweeper up New 
York Harbor by night was the best part of the voyage. 

On January 24, 1919, I received my discharge from the service. 

The voyage across, the rain and mud of central and northern 
France, the activity in the advanced zones, and, further, the innumer- 
able bees and wasps which persisted in hovering around the mess 
kits at meal times, are matters which are not easily forgotten. The 
opportunity to meet under war conditions men from all walks of 
life and from all parts of the country was a wonderful experience.

ROM June, 1909, to May, 1910, was rodman and draughtsman 

with Massachusetts Highway Commission; then transitman and 
inspector with the Massachusetts Harbor and Land Commission in 
connection with improvement of rivers and harbors until January, 
1912. From then to April, 1917, was designing draughtsman and 
structural designer with the directors of the Port of Boston in 
constructing Commonwealth Pier, South Boston; with Massachu- 
setts Harbor and Land Commission, designing New Bedford State 
Pier, and making studies for State Pier for Fall River; and with 
Stone and Webster. Since April, 1917, I have been organizing the 
“Canter Construction Company,” and am trying to build all the 
large industrial buildings in New England, such as_ two-car 
garages, etc. 

At the beginning of the war entered the employ of Monks and 
Johnson as structural designer, and shortly after was placed in 
charge of designing of the Liberty Plant, Squantum, Mass., a branch 
of the Fore River Shipyard at Quincy, Mass. Two days after our 
orders to “go ahead,” the Aberthaw Construction Company of 
Boston were driving the piles for the foundation of what has proved 
to be the finest plant of its kind in the world. Our organization 
grew from fifteen to two hundred men, slaving from early morning 
until late at night, Sundays and holidays included. On May, 1918, 
we were commissioned to design the Liberty Shipbuilding Plant, 
Wilmington, N. C., an addition to Sparrows Point Shipyard, Balti- 
more, Md., and Liberty Plant, Alameda, Cal. We built up our 
organization to over three hundred men, established headquarters 
at Philadelphia, completed the first two shipyards, and made con- 
siderable headway at Alameda, Cal., when the Germans learned of 
our great work and quit!

rejected for physical reasons by the Surgeon General at Washing- 
ton, so I returned to France as an officer in the Red Cross at Sois- 
sons. Having been rejected again at G. H. Q. at Chaumont, I 
enlisted in the Foreign Legion, was sent to Fontainebleau, emerged 
an aspirant, and was attached to the 244th Artillery Regiment at 
the front. After the Armistice I served with the French Army of 
Occupation, was later detached from my regiment and attached to 
the French Mission with the American Army of Occupation at 
Coblenz. Was made a Sous-Lieutenant in March, 1919. I returned 
to the United States in August, 1919, and have since been making 
a lecture tour under the auspices of the French High Commission. 

In the French Army I served in the Champagne, and later we 
swerved towards the Meuse. Our division made the liaison with 
the American forces in the Argonne. The Armistice caught us on 
the Meuse about ten kilometers west of Sedan. 

I have been awarded the Croix de Guerre, have been neither 
wounded nor gassed, and am therefore convinced that I have been 
preserved for some great end. Have been called a hero twice and 
the Saviour of Humanity once (by an antique in uniform who 
has n’t seen clearly since 1870). I have also been called a frog 
in a dozen dialects, and have told several million Young American 
Things that I have “seen much,” with a sigh and a far-away look.

St. Louis, Mo.; two years as chemist with Minsento Chemical Works, 
St. Louis; and three years with New York Quinine and Chemical 
Works, Brooklyn, New York. 

In 1917 went with the Marden, Orth and Hastings Company as 
a research chemist on dyestuffs and intermediates. In 1918 this 
company combined with The Calco Chemical Company and I was 
transferred to the latter as a research chemist on TNA (tetra

work I was sent to the Sheffield Chemical Laboratory of Yale to 
work on a special phase of the problem. It may be mentioned that 
TNA is fifty per cent more violent than TNT and also more 
sensitive. With the cessation of hostilities, I was again placed on 
research along more peaceful lines.

Married Rose Edith Goldman, New York City, March 2, 1915. 


HORTLY after graduation I spent a number of years with J. W. 
tJ Seligman and Company, bankers, in New York. I was finally 
made manager of the Securities Department, and resigned in August, 
1917, when I enlisted in the U. S. Naval Reserve. 

I was assigned to the Provisions and Clothing Depot in the 
Brooklyn Navy Yard with the rank of Chief Yeoman. I never saw 
sea service, but spent my time handling the distribution of clothing 
to the various navy yards, stations, and vessels of the fleet. Tom 
Ackerland and Morton Smith were assigned also to the P. & C. 
Depot, and, needless to say, we had our own private reunions. 

In July, 1918, I was commissioned as Ensign in the Pay Corps 
and sent to Annapolis for a course of intensive training for six 
weeks. The Armistice found me on duty at Pier 72, East River, 
N. Y., and in charge of the provisions and clothing distribution 
of the Third Naval District. In January, 1919, I was released from 
active service. 

Shortly thereafter I bought a seat on the New York Stock Ex- 
change and became a member of the firm of Fox, Carlebach and 
Company. |

Paris, France. 

Occupation Care Compagnie des Meules Norton, La Corneuve, Seine-et-Oise, 
France. 


ROM June, 1909, to June, 1911, I was in California, in business 
Fk in San Francisco, and associated with my brother in his school 
for boys, —the Santa Barbara School. I then entered the insurance 
business with my father in Boston, later in the year organizing a 
firm with two other partners. . 

In the fall of 1912 I entered the Episcopal Theological School 
at Cambridge, Mass., and in 1915 graduated and was ordained. 
The summer months were spent in California at Santa Barbara, 
and at the Exposition, together with two weeks’ camping in the 
Sierras and a week in the Canadian Rockies. 

From September, 1915, to June, 1917, I was assistant at All 
Saints Church, Providence, R. I., where I was instrumental in or- 
ganizing the Prison Association of Rhode Island for the welfare of 
prisoners. I was secretary of the association, and found it to be 
an expensive pastime, especially as I took one famous forger (whom 
I had thought fully reformed) to share my meager living quarters, 
only to find that he amused himself copying the signature on my 
cancelled checks onto blank ones, which he filled in for varying 
amounts at his own discretion. He landed in Atlanta but I almost 
landed in the poorhouse; and I’d rather have a greater choice 
of poorhouses than is provided by Rhode Island, if it has to come 
to that. 

During the summer months of 1917 I worked at Camp Devens 
on the New England War Camp Committee, and aided in raising 
money to build the Soldiers’ Club at Ayer. On October 15 I sailed 


60 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


for France with the Y. M. C. A. via England, reaching Paris Oc- 
tober 26. A few days later I was assigned to look into the possibili- 
ties of organizing leave centers for the A. E. F. and was sent into 
the region of the French Alps to investigate hotel towns and water- 
ing places. The report of this trip and a detailed plan for the 
complete organization of leave centers were submitted to General 
Pershing through the Y. M. C. A., and were later accepted and used 
as a basis for the whole organization of leave centers. After a 
month with the navy at Brest I was called back to Paris and sent 
down to organize Aix-les-Bains by February, when the area was 
ready to accommodate thirty-five hundred men in its various hotels. 
From the last of March to the first of August, 1918, I served with 
the Reserve Mallet, an organization of fifteen hundred American 
motor transport drivers attached to the French General Staff and 
commanded by Major Mallet of the Chasseurs. Our outfit was in 
the fighting zone the entire time, supplying shells directly to the 
guns, hauling troops, evacuating towns and cities, carrying tanks, — 
baby Renaults, — with them in the Battle of the Somme, March 21 
to April 6, 1918; Battle of the Aisne, May 26 to June 10, 1918; 
Montdidier-Noyon Defensive June 10-13, 1918; Aisne-Marne De- 
fensive July 15-18, 1918; and Aisne-Marne Offensive July 18- 
August 1, 1918. 

On August 1 I resigned from the “ Y” to enlist in the Reserve. 
Was ordered to Tours by Colonel McAdams, who pursuaded me 
to take an examination for a commission. The commission was 
signed in Washington October 4, 1918, but did not arrive in France 
before the Armistice. During the rest of the time in France I or- 
ganized and directed the entire leave-area work in France and 
Germany, — with thirty-nine towns and a thousand Y workers in 
the department, — completing the work on July 15, 1919. After a 
short trip to England and the completion of the report of the two 
years’ work, I sailed for home, arriving in New York about Sep- 
tember 1. 

Since my return I have been helping out with the Endowment 
Fund drive in New York, and for a short while was connected with 
Raymond and Whitcomb Company in Boston. I am about to sail 
for France again to take a position with the French branch of the 
Norton Company of Springfield, Mass., manufacturers of grinding- 
wheels and grinding-machines.

over, N. H., for a term of three years. In the spring of 1917 
Dr. Muck’s kindness again placed me on the conductor’s stand at 
Symphony Hall, to conduct my symphony in E flat major for or- 
chestra, April 6 and 7, 1917. This led to an engagement with 
the Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst to write the

CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


AS teacher at Arlington High School before graduation and 

have continued there since, with the interim February, 1917, 
to September, 1919, which time was spent in the U. S. Service as 
follows: 

February—June 1, 1917. As 1st Lieutenant 1st Corps Cadets N. G. 
Mass. I was attached to 16th Infantry U. S. A. of Pershing’s Expedi- 
tionary Force as student officer and was stationed on the Texas 
frontier in and about Fort Bliss, Texas. 

June 2, 1917. 16th Infantry left for France and I was trans- 
ferred to 35th Infantry, commanding Company L, and later the 
3d Battalion. 

June 25, 1917. Ordered home and made Captain, Company F, 
101st Engineers, 26th Division. 

September 27, 1917. Embarked for overseas at New York City 
(S. S. Andania). 

October 10, 1917. Arrived at Liverpool and train to South- 
ampton. 

October 19, 1917. Arrived in Le Havre. 

October 22, 1917. Arrived at our station, Rolampont, Haute- 
Marne. I was shortly made Chief Engineer in charge of construc- 
tion at Army Schools, Langres. 

January 10, 1918. Assigned to 4th Section General Staff (G-4) 
at Am. G. H. Q., Chaumont-en-Bassigny, Haute-Marne. 

August 20, 1918. Transferred to G-4 Ist Army and assigned as 
liaison officer to the French C. R. A. (Commission Regulatrice Auto- 
mobile) of Toul. 

September 12-13, 1918. In charge of main army roads (Routes 
Guardés) of the 4th Corps on attack on south side of St. Mihiel 
Salient. Owing to American inexperience at this time bad traffic 
blockades took place, the roads came under enemy fire, and it 
was a task of some thirty hours to straighten out our trafic and 
assure the advance of food, ammunition, artillery, balloon sections, 
etc., and to evacuate our wounded. For this service I was cited for 
the Croix de Guerre. 

September 20, 1918. Transferred to G-4 lst Army, at Souilly, 
and assigned to C. R. A. of Souilly: I was given command of the 
advanced canton of “ Clermont-en-Argonne,” the first American to 
command a French C. R. A. Canton. Of the work before the Ar- 


gonne opened up it is sufficient to say that we put into the front

AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


sector, behind the French screen, fourteen American divisions, 
together with artillery, engineers, tanks, etc. This work was 
done by French truck, at night, without lights, and without loss, 
a total of over four hundred and fifty thousand men in nine 
nights. This is rather more remarkable when it is known that 
many of the French camion drivers were French Cochin-Chinese 
(Annamites), men not easy to handle as far as regulating their 
traffic control. 

During the Argonne offensive I had command of the main roads 
leading north through Varennes, and so up the Aire Valley towards 
Grand Pré and to the east toward Romagne-sous-Montfoucon. For 
this work I had twelve hundred men for Military Traffic Police, 
about one third of whom were French C. R. A. Police. 

Our job was to keep the roads open, to assure the evacuation of 
all wounded, to advance all new divisions, all ammunition, artil- 
lery, balloon sections, food, hospital units— in short, to keep the 
army supplied by seeing that our roads were at all times open and 
traffic clear. It was a twenty-four hour seven-day a week job and 
the American M. P. (traffic) did a splendid job. He was under fire 
almost continuously, as our roads were bombed daily, constantly 
wet and mud bespattered, food arrived irregularly, and yet he stuck 
to it magnificently. 

Personally it gradually devolved upon me, in addition to all the 
traffic control, to pick sites for ammunition dumps, hospital sites, 
tank deposits, etc. I was learning the French C. R. A. Game for G-4 
— handling the traffic of a large section of the American front, with 
some twelve hundred police for G-1; commanding some four hun- 
dred French soldiers; directing both American and French automo- 
bile trains, selecting sites, dumps, etc., and at the same time as 
liaison officer, trying to smooth out the difficulties and troubles 
which were daily arising between “those damn Frogs” and “ les 
Americains.” It was some entertainment while it lasted. On Sep- 
tember 30 I was again cited for the Croix de Guerre. 

November 4, 1918. Transferred to G-4 2d Army and reassigned 
to C. R. A. of Toul in preparation for the offensive east of Metz, 
which it was hoped would capture most of the German Army. This 
movement was stopped by the Armistice. 

November 28, 1918. Assigned to French Headquarters, and by 
them ordered to accompany the C. R. A., 10th French Army, through

April 14, 1919. Assigned to Historical Section General Staff and 
worked with them until May 31, 1919, when, after a trip in Great 
Britain, I was ordered to the United States. 

July 5, 1919. Arrived at New York City.

RADUATED from the Harvard Medical School in 1913 and con- 
G tinued my medical education as an interne at the Boston City 
Hospital on the 2d Medical Service for twenty months. This was 
immediately followed by nine months as interne at the Boston 
Children’s Hospital. Since that time I have been attached to the 
Pediatrics Department of the Medical School, as assistant physician 
at the Boston Dispensary, and research fellow in pediatrics. My 
practice is entirely confined to the medical care of children and 
infants as distinguished from their surgical care, and is largely pre- 
ventive medicine and studies of disorders of nutrition. 

I failed to pass physical examinations for war service, but about 
two weeks before the Armistice received a commission as First Lieu- 
tenant for limited service within this country at a base hospital as

FTER graduation — and, by the way, I was so darned smart that 

I finished in the first half of my Sophomore year —I accepted 

a very tempting offer with Lewaado’s French Dyeing and Cleansing 

Company of Boston, looking after the credits and collections. So 

the seven proverbial years rolled around, leaving me so lean and 

long and lank that my wife was afraid I would not live the year 

out. Consequently, the Dederick family pulled up stakes and went 
West, a la Greeley. 

Five months in the wheat-growing prairie country put me in fine 

physical condition again and the fall of 1914 found us in the

FTER graduating from the Harvard Medical School in 1913 and 
A the usual house officer training, spent a year at Johns Hopkins 
doing special work. Returned to Boston in the summer of 1915, 
and in August, 1916, sailed for France to serve in a Base Hospital 
with personnel of Harvard men. This hospital worked with the 
B. E. F., and as the Somme push was then going on there was plenty 
to do. 

Returned January, 1917, and resumed practice, also teaching in 
the Medical School, with hospital and laboratory work on the side. 
Was called into active service May 5, 1917, with a Base Hospital 
unit, which had been formed during the Mexican crisis, and sailed 
again for France May 11, 1917. U.S. Army Base Hospital No. 5 
was assigned to the English, and late in May took over a British 
hospital with its entire equipment. 

We were at Camiers up to November 1 and then moved to Bou- 
logne. Spent a few weeks at a Clearing Station during the begin- 
ning of the English push around Ypres. Stayed at Boulogne until 
July, 1918, when I was ordered to duty in England with the Royal 
Air Force. On October 1, 1918, went to duty with the Medical 
Research Board in Aviation at Issoudun and came home as a casual 
oficer, landing in New York on February 15. I started as a

CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


FTER traveling in Europe in the summer of 1909, I began work 
with the Oneita Knitting Mills, manufacturers of knit under- 
wear, in my home town and am still with that corporation. 

In August, 1912, I enlisted in Troop “G,” 2d New York Cavalry. 
This troop was transferred in 1914 with the same letter to the 
Ist New York Cavalry. 

We were called out in June, 1916, on account of the threatening 
Mexican situation and I remained in Texas until March, 1917. 
Hardly had I returned home and been married when we were mus- 
tered into Federal Service in July and sent to Spartanburg, S. C., 
as a machine-gun battalion. 

In our last days at Spartanburg we received some replacements — 
men who had been drafted in New York City three weeks before. 
While a few were excellent material for making into machine 
gunners, the majority were mediocre in physique and low in intel- 
ligence and education. Among others, “C” Company drew a Rus- 
sian who was hopeless; an Italian who could not speak a word of 
English; an alleged deserter from the army of one of our Balkan 
allies, and a Norwegian conscientious objector. The objector, when 
questioned at Newport News by Hunter Platt, our Captain, said: 
“T will not shed the blood of my fellow men. I am a Christian.” 
Hunter then asked if he had not found any Christians in our com- 
pany, to which he replied: “Sir! I have not found a Christian in 
these barracks.” Mr. Objector, in spite of his “ Holier than thou” 
attitude, later on became a good driver in our transport and came 
through the war with a good record, having nothing on his con- 
science except dead cooties. 

At Newport News the efficiency and courtesy of the embarkation 
and Q. M. officers was a pleasant surprise. After inspections and 
a review our battalion embarked May 10 on the U. S. Transport 
Antigone with the 2d Battalion of the 107th Infantry and the supply 
company of the 108th Infantry. A conscientious objector of the 
supply company trod the gangplank rather gingerly, got halfway 
across, and then turned to flee. The nearest sentry promptly 
knocked him out by hitting him on the head with the butt of his 
rifle. After the unconscious body had been dragged on board the 
loading proceeded smoothly. 

One of our sister transports was a Russion ship manned by an 
English civilian crew. Its signal officer was from our navy and its 


104 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


Japanese guns had American sailor gun crews, who had replaced 
American coast artillerymen. When ready to sail the English crew 
struck for a fifty per cent increase in wages. The crew were held 
as prisoners until an English cruiser, summoned by wireless, blew 
into port. A detachment of their marines boarded the ship and 
took off a bunch of men to be tried for mutiny. The other strikers 
withdrew their demands and the Russian ship sailed, having been 
delayed twenty-four hours. 

The Antigone anchored outside of Hampton Roads over night. 
When two transports joined us the next morning we moved off on 
a northeasterly course. On May 12 our flotilla attached itself to 
a fleet of eleven transports from New York, led by the cruiser 
Frederick. A one-funnel, oil-burning destroyer, recently built, 
caught up with the procession. This craft, camouflaged in two 
shades of green, had quite a different appearance from that of the 
destroyers which met us when forty-eight hours out of Brest. 

No hostile submarines were sighted during the voyage of thirteen 
days. The daily routine consisted of inspection of troop quarters 
in the forenoon and a fixed program for officers in the afternoon, 
which kept them busy. After lunch there was always the “ Abandon 
Ship ” drill for army and navy. After that all army officers had to 
attend a military lecture. This was succeeded by French classes. 
I had good fun as instructor in the elementary class. The final 
event was a long English physical drill for junior officers not on 
special duty. Lieutenant Randall Matson, who had graduated from 
a six weeks’ course on the English bayonet drill and physical exer- 
cises, was an excellent instructor. The enlisted men were also 
exercised daily in similar drills. 

The evenings were described in many letters by a “rookie” as 
follows: “Fair Luna shed her beneficent rays upon the placid sea. 
In the quiet night it is hard to realize the awful conflict that is 
raging beyond the hills.” The writer never got beyond the hills, 
as I transferred him to a salvage dump on the first opportunity. 

Our convoy with forty-two thousand troops on board arrived at 
Brest May 23. Ten thousand more troops arrived the next day on 
the Mount Vernon and George Washington. The debarkation facili- 
ties were nearly swamped by the arrival of fifty-two thousand men 
in two days. Our ship was unloaded on the 24th. 

After a few days at Camp Pontanezen our battalion entrained for 


105 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


a journey which lasted sixty hours. We finally uncoiled ourselves: 
from our cramped quarters and detrained at Noyelles (Somme), a 
village north of the mouth of the Somme River and not far from 
Abbeville. Then came two marches which brought us to the town 
of Rue, our first billeting and training area. 

At Rue we learned that our division (less the artillery and am- 
munition train) was attached to the Fifth British Army. Training 
cadres for various specialties were furnished by the 66th British 
Division. The M.G. instructors, however, consisted of three captains: 
and a number of sergeant-majors of the Guards Division. A school 
for intensive training with the Vickers gun was established on the 
seashore, five miles distant from Rue. The majority of our officers 
and nearly all of our N. C. O.’s took a two weeks’ course. I was 
left behind in town in command of Company “C” while my Cap- 
tain attended the school. Staying behind had its advantages, as I 
was sent to the British front opposite Albert. Captain Robert Moly- 
neux (later Major of the 104 M. G. Batallion) and I were attached 
to “C” Company, 18th British Division M. G. Battalion, for six days’ 
observation. This company was commanded by a first-rate English 
Major. The second in command was one of the finest Irishmen 
I have ever met. About half of the Lieutenants were Scotch and 
half were English. All were friendly, hospitable, and helpful; and 
they were very much on the job. This early impression of the 
British was most favorable. The following months of association 
confirmed it. The popular sport of “knocking” the English by 
those who did not work with them on active service gives me an 
acute pain. 

After an instructive six days I set out by lorry to rejoin the 27th 
Division, which I found in an area south of the mouth of the 
Somme. Two days later Lieut. Roger Wellington and I were or- 
dered to proceed to the G. H. Q. Machine-gun School of the British 
Expeditionary Force at Dannes-Camiers, which is on the Channel, 
five miles north of Etaples. There I took a course from June 21 
to July 21 with about thirty-five American officers and an equal 
number of yeomanry officers who had just arrived from Palestine, 
their cavalry regiments having been changed into motor machine- 
gun battalions. The month at school was the most instructive and 
one of the pleasantest I ever spent in the army. The school was 
excellent in every way. I think it the best M. G. school ever de-

veloped, having in mind Grantham, which was its only real rival. 
For any information about American Corps M. G. schools, ask any 
of our officers who encountered the famous instructor-lieutenants 
generally known as “ Willie Knothole,” “Miles the Mapmaker,” 
and “ Napoleon Vickers, Jr.” (While at school I met two classmates 
— Prescott Huidekoper, an M. G. Captain of 80th Division, who 
was a fellow student, and “ Mike” Grinnell, who was a Captain in 
the R. A. M. C. at the Harvard Base Hospital near Camiers. ) 

After finishing the course the six officers of our division, with 
five orderlies, set out to hunt for the division. I had to leave my 
orderly in a hospital as German air raids by night had brought on 
heart trouble. Because of a bad heart he had been thrice rejected 
for enlistment. When finally drafted he was marked “unfit for 
overseas’ and promptly sent to France. Our party traveled about 
for several days in the region about St. Omer. The division was 
on the move and it was difficult to locate one’s unit. Wellington 
and I found our battalion on July 25 in Steenvoorde Wood near the 
town of that name. Our division was one of the ten American divi- 
sions back of the English front at that time. 

I had barely time to read an accumulation of letters from home 
that evening when I was ordered to take Company “C” that night 
into the reserve line at East Poperinghe (Belgium), three miles east 
of Ypres and in the Ypres salient. At this time Major Bryant was 
acting D. M. G. O. (Divisional M. G. Officer) and Captain Platt 
was battalion commander. I thus became acting company C. O. 
My second in command was a corking officer, 1st Lieutenant (later 
Captain) Walter L. Glass of Duluth, Minn., who a few years ago 
had played halfback on the football team and had stroked the crew 
of Syracuse University. He and I were the only officers with the 
company at this time. 

When the orders came at 9 P.M. to move into the reserve line the 
men were going to sleep, as they were tired by the eighteen-mile 
hike of that day and by an equally long one of the previous day. 
As our transport mules were tired by these marches we borrowed 
fresh animals from the 105th M. G. Battalion transport which was 
near by. The men had to plod along for eight weary miles. We 
relieved Company “C,” 105 M. G. Battalion, which was commanded 
by Captain “ Ray” Bigelow, who captained the Yale football team 
of 1907. 


107 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


The relief was completed at 1 A.M. without accident. A battery 
of two fifteen-inch naval guns of the Royal Marine Artillery, located 
two hundred yards behind the farm which was our Company H. Q., 
was in action that night with several adjacent batteries of six-inch 
howitzers. The noise was unpleasant, especially that of the naval 
suns. The shock from these shook some of the tiles off my roof. 

Our battalion spent a busy week improving M. G. emplacements. 
and building new ones. The German shelling on this line was fairly 
heavy with five-point-nines. The only casualties in our company 
were three men gassed at night by Blue Cross shells. 

It happened that the 2d Battalion of the Sherwood Foresters came 
back to the ‘East Pop” line for a six-day rest. They had had 
heavy losses in officers and men in the outpost line in front of 
Mt. Kemmel.- The officers had been told that they were sacrifice 
troops in case the expected German attack came off, and that they 
were to hold on till killed or captured. Their rest in our neighbor- 
hood consisted of digging a cable trench six feet deep for the first 
four nights. Two companies were living at and around my head- 
quarters. At the suggestion of their officers Glass and I combined 
our mess with theirs. The English Lieutenant, who was P. M. C. 
(President Mess Committee), recalled a cartoon which he had seem 
in “Punch,” depicting a staff officer watching a crowd of Tommies 
digging on a rainy night. “Is this a labor battalion working? ” 
asked the Staff. A Tommy replied: “No, Sir! This is an infantry 
battalion resting.” 

The 106 M. G. Battalion entered the front line on the night of 
July 31. Companies “A” and “B” went into the Mt. Sherpenberg 
Sector attached to the M. G. battalion of the 41st British Division. 
Companies “C” and “ D” were sent to the Dickiebusch Lake Sector 
at the base of Mt. Kemmel, attached to the M. G. Battalion of the 
6th British Division. Company “C” had a rough night going into 
the line (six killed and ten wounded) but had good fortune for the 
rest of the week. Our program was similar to that of the English. 
It consisted of lying low in the daytime and in firing by night, 
harassing fire on roads and tracks in back of the Hun first line. 
The enemy O. P.’s on Mt. Kemmel in daylight could spot the 
movements of a fly for three miles back of the outpost line. For 
that reason no machine gunner could stir by day. It was semi- 
open warfare with no communication trenches and no regular trench

system. Night was the busy time. That week the situation was 
normal but in the Ypres salient it was no rest cure. In those seven 
days the 6th British M. G. Battalion had three Captains and one 
1st Lieutenant killed, and one Major seriously wounded. One night 
the Boches, who were rather jumpy, expected an Anglo-American 
attack and put down their S. O. S. barrage. Lieutenant Glass, who 
was caught in it, jumped into a shell hole. When a 77 mm. dud 
landed beside him he sought a better hole. I had a surprise one 
day at dawn when a low-flying German plane opened up with a 
machine gun on an English Major and myself. The aviator missed 
us both, although his bullets sounded fairly close. 

Our battalion was relieved on the night of August 7-8 by the 
four infantry M. G. companies of our division. Then came a pleas- 
ant rest of twelve days in the country between the towns of Outer- 
zeele and Wormhoudt. While there I received a cable telling me 
of the birth of my daughter on August 5. 

The next move in the game was the graduation exercises of our 
training, the taking over of a divisional sector. Our 53d Brigade 
took over the Dickiebusch Sector from the 6th British Division. 
The 54th Brigade moved up in reserve. Our battalion manned the 
East Pop line but lightly, as the danger of a big German drive 
in Flanders had passed. Twenty of Crown Prince Rupprecht’s 
twenty-seven reserve divisions assembled for the assault had been 
transferred to try to stop the Franco-American push begun in the 
-Chateau-Thierry salient on July 18. Eight of the ten American 
divisions with the British were transferred to French or American 
sectors, leaving behind the 2d Corps, consisting of our division and 
the 30th (National Guard of North Carolina, South Carolina, and 
Tennessee). Our corps was a part of the Second British Army 
and took its orders from General Plumer. Towards the end of August 
the Germans withdrew from Mt. Kemmel. Our 53d Brigade in the 
action of Vierstraat Ridge had a lively time following them. Capt. 
Stanton Whitney (a Harvard graduate) of the 105th M. G. Battalion 
stopped a Hun counter attack with one platoon of his company, 
which had its four Vickers guns in a wheat field. I believe that 
this was the only time during the war that any heavy machine guns 
of our division had a good direct fire target. Just as our brigade 
was about to relieve the 53d our corps was moved south to the 
Doullens area. Haig, in other words, transferred us from his 


109

Second Army to the Fourth Army, commanded by General Sir 
Henry Rawlinson. | 

Our battalion, after an eighteen-hour train journey and a couple 
of ten-mile hikes, one before and one after the ride, was billeted in 
Raincheval or Frog Pond Valley, halfway between Doullens and - 
Albert. There a period of intensive training took place in the latest 
methods of attack. In our battalion we broke in to our methods 
some excellent replacements from the 83d Division of Ohio. 

Our outfit left Raincheval one morning at one o’clock, marched 
ten miles, and entrained at 7 A.M. The train then moved leisurely 
through the Somme country, through Villers-Bretonneux and Pe- 
ronne, arriving at our destination, Tincourt, about 11 p.m. The 
men were warned not to light cigarettes as three “ Jerries ” had just 
been bombing the station. An ammunition train was on the track 
next to ours. We hit the road once more and finally arrived at a 
woods near Templeux-la-Fosse. Two nights later Lieutenant Colla- 
more, a red-headed and capable “ Digger” of the 3d Australian . 
Division, arrived with maps and orders. Our part in the coming 
attack on the Hindenburg line was outlined. Next morning at five 
o'clock our four reconnaissance officers departed. Each was ac- 
companied by a line Sergeant, who would later act as guide, and 
a Mess Sergeant, who would learn where to bring up rations. The 
party was mounted on horses and mules, the number of riding 
horses in the battalion being just four. It was ten miles from 
Templeux-la-Fosse to our positions south of the town of Ronssoy. 

The battalion broke camp at 3 p.m. I happened to be in com- 
mand for the march. The roads were packed with traffic, but never 
jammed, owing to the excellent English march discipline. I halted 
the battalion once when two Fokkers dived out of a cloud over our 
heads and ignited with tracer bullets two English observation bal- 
loons. The successful planes did not tarry to fire on our column 
but turned in hasty flight. A British aviator dove from another 
cloud and brought down one “Jerry” but the other escaped. All 
this action happened so rapidly that it resembled a movie. The 
batallion got into the line without casualties, which was rather 
lucky. Company “C,” of which I was still acting C. O., got to its 
position, a captured German trench, about 10 p.m. The men 
worked like fiends all night in an annoying bombardment of Blue 
‘Cross gas. All companies of the 105th and 106th M. G. Battalions

were twelve gun barrage batteries. Our company was ready for 
business at 5.20 A.M. with not much time to spare, as zero hour was 
5.30 A.M. At that minute (September 27) the 106th Infantry went 
over the top in a preliminary attack on the Hindenburg outpost line 
against positions called “ The Knoll, Quennemont Farm, and Guille- 
mont Farm.” The object of this attack was to get a better jumping- 
off place for the main attack. The line of the 30th American 
Division on our right was several hundred yards in advance of 
our division front line. Well, our “Emma G’s” put down a heavy 
creeping barrage with eighty-four guns on a narrow sector for 
thirty minutes and then fired “rapid” for thirty minutes more on 
our S. O. S. lines. Our Company “A” was a “ washout,” as it was 
not ready at zero hour. The English and Australian artillery bar- 
rage was very heavy. Two squadrons of English heavy tanks with 
American crews took part. Most of them got knocked out by direct 
hits from German seventy-sevens. As some objectives were taken 
and some were not, the attack was a failure. The 106th Infantry 
was reduced to the size of one battalion. At noon two runners ar- 
rived at our forward H. Q. from two Infantry battalions with iden- 
tical messages as’ follows: “Send one M. G. platoon at once. 
Urgent.” Both platoons were sent from my company. The 3d 
platoon, Lieutenant Perkins commanding, after an arduous and 
dangerous trip, reached its destination and was told that it was 
not wanted. I sent Lieutenant Glass with one runner to the other 
infantry Major to find out what he wanted. Being ordered to pro- 
ceed before the runner had returned, I took the Ist platoon with 
its complete equipment and much S. A. A. On arriving at destina- 
tion I found out that the Major wanted one officer, one gun crew, 
and one gun to replace a crew and gun that had received a direct 
hit. Why he did not have sense enough to say that in his ap- 
peal for help is one of the mysteries of the war. Believe me, I 
was sore. 

On September 28 I did some reconnaissance. A shallow trench 
on a ridge was picked for our battery position. Before dark, with 
a prismatic oil compass and a Sergeant assisting, I staked out six 
gun positions and two aiming stakes for each. Glass finished the 
work while I got the company ready to move. I laid out the zero 
line of the directing gun on a compass bearing which I estimated 
as accurately as possible. The stakes of every gun were on the 


111 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


_ bearing. The guns when mounted and laid were on “ parallel 
lines.” The fire orders came late at night, giving me the zero line 
of the directing gun. In the early morning light we switched five 
degrees right by reading our traversing dials, put the proper eleva- 
tion on the guns, and were ready. 

The main attack on the Hindenburg line began on September 29 
at 5.50 a.m. It is well to remember that this was one of a series 
of great pushes. On September 26 the First American Army 
launched its wonderful Argonne offensive. On September 28 the 
British armies of the North, plus the 37th and 91st American divi- 
sions, began with the Belgian Army a great sweep in Flanders. On 
the 29th the British 4th Army attacked on the sector between 
Cambrai and St. Quentin with twenty-three British, two American, 
and three of the five Australian divisions. I believe that the Hinden- 
burg line was first broken by our two divisions and the three Aus- 
tralian divisions which leapfrogged through us two hours after 
the attack started, but one need not get the incorrect idea that we 
were the only ones in the show. 

On our division front the 107th Infantry attacked on the left 
and the 108th attacked on the right. The 106th Infantry followed 
to mop up. A little later the three “ Aussie” divisions piled into 
the scrimmage and all hands continued for three days. I take off 
my hat to the “doughboys” and the “ Diggers.” The 107th In- 
fantry lost 65 per cent of its strength and the 108th lost nearly as 
many. The 106th Infantry was reduced to about three hundred 
rifles. 

Personally, when zero hour arrived, I signaled “‘ Commence 
Firing! ” to the company and then tried to see what was happen- 
ing. At that instant a tremendous roar burst out as the English 
artillery barrage broke loose. I did not feel like standing up too 
high as a battery of 18 pounders was just in back of our trench 
and Company “A” of our battalion was also shooting over our 
heads. I could see the advancing infantry ducking as the tremen- 
dous storm passed over their heads, although the clearance was 
ample. All up and down the Hun line arose their S. O. S. rockets, 
red over red from rifle grenades. Then they shot up peculiar 
green rockets which burst in the form of a cross. Each arm shoot- 
ing to right and left broke into another green light. This is sup- 
posed to have been their signal for “annihilating fire — every piece 


112

of artillery to go at top speed on its S. O. S. line. The smoke of 
bursting shells soon hid the spectacle. 

About an hour after our M. G. barrage had finished I set out to 
see if our rations had come up. I took with me my orderly, Justin 
Donahoe (the successor of the one with the bad heart), and a 
private who had been slightly wounded by a M. G. bullet. Walking 
along the ridge parallel to our battery position I saw a picture that 
I shall never forget. The Australian divisions were marching 
calmly along into the turmoil in front. Squadron after squadron 
of reserve tanks sailed by. British staff officers on horseback trotted 
into the smoke and disappeared. A long stream of armored motor 
cars poured out of Ronssoy. 

In the next few days our company moved about a lot but did no 
firing, as no German counter-attack materialized. On October | or 2 
our division was put in reserve to rest for three days while the 
30th Division’ on the other side of the Hindenburg line attacked 
regularly twice a day and ploughed ahead in great shape. Many 
of our officers got back to us at this time from school. Among 
them, was my C. O., Hunter Platt. Several shifts were made in the 
line-up. The Adjutant became Supply Officer and I became Adjutant. 

While resting in the ruined village of Buire the “Flu” broke out 
in our battalion. In the next month about two hundred of our men 
caught the disease, which resulted fatally for twelve of them. 

When our division was ordered to relieve the 30th we made 
several marches by day and by night before we got up to them on 
a line running beyond Busigny and Bohain. Our battalion’s line 
of march was Buire, Villaret, Bellicourt, Nauroy, Ramicourt, Bran- 
court, Prémont, Beausigny. The 30th Division, after a rest of two 
days, was placed in the line beside our division. The next push 
was the battle of St. Souplet-la-Selle River. The final one for us 
was the battle of Jonc de Mer Ridge. The Fourth Army made its 
_ objectives in each case. On October 21 our 2d Corps was relieved. 
Every one was tired out and the infantry regiments of both divisions 
were but fragments of their former strength. Some of their bat- 
talions had less than a hundred men for duty. In my new job as 
Adjutant I did not see much of these last two shows. 

While hiking back to entrain I came down with the “Flu.” 
From an English Casualty Clearing Station I went by hospital train 
to their General Hospital No. 2 at Le Havre. I received the best 


113

possible care and treatment at this English hospital and was con- 
valescing when the Armistice was signed. Later I traveled the 
usual route from rest camp to rest camp, and finally rejoined the 
106th M. G. Battalion at Corbie-sous-Vaire near Amiens. 

We spent a rainy winter at Connerré (Sarthe) in Le Mans area. 
Moving to Brest at the end of February, our battalion at last em- 
barked for New York on the U. S. S. Missouri. Then came Camp 
Whitman, the parade of the 27th Division in New York, and the 
final windup at Camp Upton. I was discharged on April 2, 1919, 
and lost no time in getting home.

from pageant director to fire chief, including office organization and 
management in developing the greatest winter sports center on the 
Continent, and perhaps in the world. 

I inadvertently mussed up my left knee with a hatchet twenty 
years ago and couldn’t get the examining surgeons of the army to 
admire the job. I varied the indoor sport of getting rejected by 
running the state military census for this township, home defense 
league work, etc. Finally, in the fall of 1918, qualified for special 
service overseas to organize collection of historical and technical 
data of the engineer operations of the war, was commissioned Cap-

sailing orders, but the Armistice interfered. 

Taking advantage of the break in my regular work, I have been 
devoting most of the past year to shorthand, in an effort to synthe-

Occupation Lawyer, Care Murray, Prentice & Howland, 37 Wall St., New 
York City. 


FTER three years at the Harvard Law School, working non-union 
hours, entered the law office of Simpson, Thacher and Bartlett, 
New York City, in the autumn of 1912, where I remained until 
June, 1916, when the First Field Artillery, New York National 
Guard, was mobilized for a trip to Texas. First as private, then a 
Corporate, and later Signal Sergeant, thoroughly hated and blas- 
phemed (behind my back), I fought the battle of McAllen, Texas, 
with the rest of the outfit until the middle of November, 1916. Six 
months after my return from the border I pulled the last cactus 
thorn out of my knee. 

A few months later became a candidate in the Fifth Battery, 
Second Plattsburg Camp. Two weeks after receiving a Second 
Lieutenancy in Field Artillery was attached to the 307th Field Ar- 
tillery Regiment at Camp Dix, New Jersey, Battery F. The Captain 
examined me on the question whether I had ever before seen a horse, 
first telling me confidentially that the officer then in charge of the 
battery horses (at that time non-existent) had always been brought 
up with automobiles and was having a hard time in mastering from 
a book the various “ parts” of the horse, the intricacies of its drive 
and ignition system. I admitted I had done a little buggy riding,

could drive with one hand, or none at all if necessary, and so with 
such excellent qualification became “ stable officer.” 

Throughout the winter and spring literally lived in the stables, 
and sailed the latter part of May for Liverpool. Crossed the channel 
to Havre and then “hommed et chevauxed” to an artillery firing 
center, Camp de Meucon, ten kilometers from Vannes, in Brittany. 
Near the end of August, with ten other officers of the regiment, was 
ordered back to the United States to join a new division. As a First 
Lieutenant was assigned to the 67th Field Artillery at West Point, 
Ky., where I was stationed until discharged on January 6, 1919. 

Returned to the Simpson, Thacher and Bartlett Company, but 
due to restlessness and Bolshevik yearnings prevalent in these times, 
moved to the office of Murray, Prentice and Howland.

FRANCIS PELOUBET FARQUHAR 


Address 2728 Union St., San Francisco, Cal. 

Residence Ditto. 

Occupation Certified Public Accountant (California) and Member of The 
American Institute of Accountants; associated with McLaren, 
Goode & Co., Public Accountants, 519 California St., San 
Francisco, Cal. 


T the time, ten years ago, when our Class scattered from the 
A confines of the yard fence, I had been but very little out of 
New England. I decided to see something of the country before 
determining where to live and what to do. The following winter 
I went to San Francisco, where I joined Karl Cate and began to get 
acquainted with the Pacific Coast. I liked the place, I liked the 
people, and I liked the life. So I cast anchor and have considered _ 
it my home port ever since. 

For the first year and a half in San Francisco I was with Bancroft- 
Whitney Company, publishers of law books. Before coming to 
California, however, I had had a little training in accountancy on 
the staff of Gunn, Richards and Company, Boston. I decided to 
resume this work and, in September, 1911, became accountant for 
the Federal Telegraph Company and Poulsen Wireless Corporation 
in San Francisco. 

In the summer of 1912 I found it necessary to return to the East 
for a while. I attended the Harvard Graduate School of Business 

Administration for a few months and then joined the staff of C. H. 


132 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


Scovell and Company, public accountants and industrial engineers, 
in Boston. Until February, 1914, I remained with this firm, living 
in Cambridge. 

By the first of the year 1914 I found that it was no longer neces- 
sary for me to remain in the East and I decided to return to Cali- 
fornia. Before returning, however, I took the opportunity of going 
to Europe for a few months. I spent a month in Italy and then, 
early in April, joined my friend Aristides Phoutrides (Harvard, 
1919) at Patras, in Greece. We visited Olympia and then Athens. 
Our great objectives, however, were the classic mountains, Parnas- 
sus and Olympus. We climbed Parnassus after a day at Delphi, 
experiencing little difficulty. It is a noble mountain, worthy of all 
its poetical traditions. Olympus was another matter. It was re- 
puted to be inaccessible, unexplored, and dangerous. We could 
find no one to guide us and no reliable information. Nevertheless 
we set out to try it. We started from Larissa in Thessaly and drove 
over the Melouna Pass, which until a year and a half before had 
been the Greco-Turkish boundary. The Balkan War of 1912-13 
had extended the boundaries of Greece far to the northward and for 
the first time in many centuries Olympus was under Greek rule. 
We drove to Elassona and then went across country on foot into the 
very heart of what had for many years been the headquarters of the 
klephts or bandits. We were not molested and came in security 
to a very ancient monastery, where we spent the night. Next day 
we made the ascent, a climb of some eight thousand feet. It was 
a long, exhausting climb, but worth it every bit. The mountain is 
nearly ten thousand feet in altitude above the sea and is the highest 
in the whole Balkan peninsula. I have made thorough research 
into the records and literature of that region and find that of the 
four or five recorded ascents ours was the second in completeness, 
and that I was undoubtedly the first American to ascend one of the 
highest group of peaks. The best ascent had been made the year 
before by two Swiss. From Olympus we came by a most interesting 
route through the interior of southern Macedonia to Salonica. I 
sailed through the Dardanelles a few days later, little dreaming of 
the gigantic struggle soon to take place there. After a few days in 
Constantinople I returned by way of Budapest, Vienna, Paris, and 
London to New York. 


Upon returning from Europe I went immediately to California, 
133 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


and was in the midst of a camping trip in the Sierra when the 
World War broke out in the very spots through which I had so re- 
cently been traveling. In the fall of 1914 I went to Honolulu on 
a business trip. 

In February, 1915, I joined the staff of Klink, Bean and Company, 
public accountants, San Francisco, and remained with them until 
May, 1917, when I entered the Naval Reserve and was called to 
active duty. 

I was commissioned, May 23, 1917, with the extraordinary and 
now happily obsolete title of Passed Assistant Paymaster, with rank 
of Lieutenant, U. S. N. R. F. On June 1 I began my duties as as- 
sistant to the cost inspector for the U. S. Navy at the Union Iron 
Works, San Francisco. It was very interesting work professionally, 
and for the next year I was in the thick of the shipbuilding pro- 
gram. The plant at which I was stationed was one of the largest 
tonnage producers in the country and was certainly a busy place. 
My work was to pass on the items of cost entering into the con- 
struction of destroyers and submarines building under “ cost-plus- 
profit” contracts. For a good deal of the time I was in full charge 
of the work in the absence of my chief on other duties. By the 
summer of 1918, however, I felt that I had had enough. I had 
built up a very capable organization and knew that I could leave 
without detriment to the work. I repeatedly applied for sea duty 
and made strenuous efforts to get out. But the Navy Department 
did n’t see it the same way I did and merely ordered me to similar 
duty elsewhere. I went to Washington and was assigned to a very 
dreary job in the Compensation Board. This Board will never be 
famous, so I won’t bother to explain it, other than to say it was. 
supposed to make final decisions on matters arising from cost-plus-. 
profit contracts for naval construction. I was in Washington when 
the Armistice was declared and for some time after, finally being 
released the first of April, 1919. I held the same rank throughout 
the war, the title being changed in the summer of 1918 to Lieuten- 
ant, Pay Corps, U.S. N. R. F. 

Since coming to California one of my principal interests has been 
in the mountains. I have been many times to the Yosemite and to. 
other parts of the Sierra, and have found my greatest enjoyment in 
camping trips in these regions. I spent a month in the Yosemite 
National Park with the Sierra Club in 1911 and again in 1914. In

AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


1912 I was for four weeks in the Kern River region of the Sierra, 
ascending Mount Whitney, the highest point in the United States 
outside of Alaska — 14,501 feet. In 1915 and 1916 I had shorter 
trips in the Yosemite region. I have just returned (August, 1919) 
from an extended trip along the whole length of the Sierra through 
the most magnificent mountain scenery in America. 

I have now resumed the practice of my profession of accounting, 
being associated with McLaren, Goode and Company, a firm of long 
standing in San Francisco.

OR two years after leaving College I was located in Manchester, 
| Seam at a garage and selling cars. Sold my business in the 
fall of 1911 and purchased an orange grove in Florida. Results 
were not good. Feeling sure the “middleman” was cheating me in 
the usual way, I decided to learn the trouble first hand, so got a 
job up North with a concern that handled my fruit. It did not take 
me long to see I was cheating myself, for my fruit had not been 
eraded, packed, or handled at the point of production in the right 
way. This information put my grove on a paying basis. However, 
in another year I left Florida and ever since have been in the whole- 
sale fruit and produce business in Boston.

ROM 1910 to 1915 attended summer sessions of Harvard and 

Columbia universities. From September, 1909, to the present 
year, I have been teaching “ Young America” in one of Boston’s 
technical high schools. 

It was not my fortune to take an active part in the war, but I 
rendered whatever service I could to one of the local selective serv- 
ice boards. Throughout the summer of 1918 acted as assistant 
supervisor at Camp Thompson, Hatfield, Mass. I also participated 
in the country-wide movement fostered by the government to get 
city high school boys on the farm to help in the production of more 
food. About twenty-five hundred of these boys in Massachusetts 
alone were only too eager to do their share to stem the ever-increas- 
ing labor shortage, and I know of a number of these “ boy farmers ” 
who are now studying at Harvard.

HE first year after leaving College was spent in the law office 
ee Judge H. G. Lunt, of Colorado Springs. I then entered the 
Harvard Law School, and after graduating in 1913, I undertook to 
assist to right their wrongs at the office of the Boston Legal Aid 
Society. During the year 1916-17 I was acting counsel-in-chief of 
the Society. 

In April, 1917, I joined the First Motor Corps, Massachusetts 
State Guard as a private. In the fall I decided to do active service, 
but was turned down by the Regular Army, and so proceeded to 
Washington. In November, 1917, enrolled with the Bureau of War 
Trade Intelligence of the War Trade Board, controlling all exports 
and imports. The purpose was to collect all possible information 
regarding German firms throughout the world and grant or refuse 
import or export applications, according to whether or not German 
interest was involved. This power made the blockade of Germany 
effective. During the last month I was at Washington I was director 
of my Bureau as well as representative of the Department of State 
and the War Trade Board of the U. S. Censorship Board.

Occupation Decorative Painter. 


N the fall of 1909 I went to Paris to study painting, and remained 

there until the spring of 1911, with the exception of a four 
months’ trip to Egypt with my father. 

From 1911 to 1917 I assisted my father in decorative work, and 
during the summer of 1913 studied landscape painting with Charles 
Woodbury at Ogunquit, Maine. Studied evenings at the Art Stu- 
dents’ League, where I was treasurer in 1913 and president in 1914. 

On May 14, 1917, I went to the First Officers’ Training Camp at 
Plattsburg, and on August 14 was commissioned First Lieutenant of 
Field Artillery. On the 12th of September sailed with the first in- 
stallment of Reserve Officers for service in France, and arrived at the 
Saumur Artillery School on October 3. After three months’ train- 
ing was assigned to the First Division, Fifth Field Artillery, Bat- 
tery F. After three weeks was ordered to the staff of the First F. A. 
Brigade. The division entered the Toul Sector on January 15, and 
I was fully occupied in inaugurating the system of ammunition 
supply of the brigade and in filling battery positions in a sector 
which had been inactive for four years. In the middle of February 
was ordered to the division staff as Assistant G-1 and Division 
Ammunition Officer, and served during our raids in the Toul Sector, 
the Montdidier Sector, including the Battle of Cantigny, and south- 
west of Soissons, in the offensive which began on the momentous 
18th of July, 1918. I was promoted to Captain, Field Artillery, on 
August 30, 1918. 

After Soissons I was made First Assistant G-1 and have so served 
until the present time. During the St. Mihiel and the two Argonne 
operations my work lay in the problems of supply, evacuation, and 
replacement of the troops. When the Armistice was signed the 
division led the way down the Moselle to occupy the Coblenz Bridge- 
head, and took station in the vicinity of Montabaur, east of Coblenz,

T seemed most fitting at a time when our country was about to 
| abandon its traditional policy with reference to entangling alli- 
ances for me also to break with the past and get married, for it is 
said that when a man marries he becomes hopelessly entangled with 
posterity. I thought also that my satisfaction in the Decennial 
would be greatly enhanced if I had taken the fatal step just prior 
to that time. I was right. It is clear, therefore, that my responsi- 
bility for any utterances that appear below is strictly limited, not 
only because I have just been married, but because the Decennial 
still wears the aspect of a “big bright moonlight night.” 

My activities since graduation are hardly worth recording, but 
as I feel charitable towards the publishers, who, I know, have an 
arduous and thankless task, and who are invariably short of copy, 
I am willing to do my bit. 

My war record does not arouse enthusiasm. Plattsburg would 
not have me because of a “systolic murmur at the apex,” and for 
the same complex reason the Draft Board placed me in Class V-G. 
Far removed from shrieking shells and prowling periscopes, I found 


148 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


that my associates in the above class were those totally and perma- 
nently unfit physically or mentally. Only a slender strand of 
barbed wire separated us from the next cage, known as “ Class V-H,” 
enclosing the morally unfit. It was a narrow escape. 

With a clear conscience, therefore, though not without anguish 
of heart, I came to witness the “Battle of Washington” in March, 
1918, as an assistant in the States Administration Division of the 
United States Food Administration. Our division was headed by 
John W. Hallowell, 01, who had gathered about him an array of 
able, cheerful, and indefatigable volunteers, many of them Harvard 
men, who assisted him in the very important work of establishing, 
maintaining, and developing the national organization of the United 
States Food Administration with its policy of decentralization in 
the States, a policy which Mr. Hoover had so successfully estab- 
lished in Belgium. Never have I worked with an organization where 
a finer atmosphere prevailed or where the spirit of mutual helpful- 
ness and unselfishness was so thoroughly controlling. The credit 
for this belongs to our leader, Jack Hallowell, and to the greatest 
of them all, — Herbert Hoover. My principal task was the writing 
of the form letters which were sent to all State Food Administrators 
every day, outlining the policies of the Food Administration. Our 
division was the channel through which all this information passed 
to the States. 

I had been told that Washington was a place to be avoided in 
summer, but there proved to be extenuating circumstances. In 
July I met the lady who is now my wife, and who was also a Food 
Administration worker, and in a short time there was an uncondi- 
tional surrender. It also happened that Francis Farquhar, with 
whom I roomed the last three years in College, was sent to Washing- 
ton from San Francisco in September, 1918, to do important work 
for the navy, and that we were able to resume our former intimate 
relations by again rooming together. With Saturdays and Sundays 
playing golf and tennis in old Virginia, with evenings on the 
Potomac, in Rock Creek Park, and elsewhere in delightful company, 
with excellent companions to live with, renewal of old friendships 
and the making of new ones, I am not ashamed to say that I had 
a “swell time.” Sherman was again vindicated. 

On returning from Washington at the beginning of the new year, 
1919, I joined Coffin and Burr, Inc., who handle the highest grade 


149 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


bonds in the world. I am connected primarily with the buying or 
investigating side of the business, but am not averse to selling to 
carefully selected persons, such as members of 1909. If any mem- 
ber of the Class cannot persuade me to sell him anything, Jack 
Paine and John Beach will be glad to look him over and learn the 
reason. 

After joining Coffin and Burr I had an extensive trip through 
Canada in the winter, going as far west as Moose Jaw, and visiting 
Regina, Winnipeg, Fort William, Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal. 
Barring a business trip to Vermont in the spring with John Beach, 
I have remained in Boston all the time up to May 29, the date of 
my wedding. I here pay tribute to Peloubet Farquhar, Jack Paine, 
Bill Rand, and Duckie Swan for preventing me from stumbling on 
that occasion. The good old state of Maine claimed me on my 
honeymoon. 

Looking back to older days, I spent Senior year and the two fol- 
lowing years in the Harvard Law School. In September, 1910, I 
was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar, and in June, 1911, received 
the LL.B. degree on graduating from the Law School. Instead of 
actually turning to the practice of law, I entered the employment 
of Stone and Webster, Boston, and shortly afterwards began work 
in their Corporation or Legal Department. After nearly five busy 
years in interesting work of a legal nature relating to the organiza- 
tion, maintenance, financing, management, and sometimes dissolu- 
tion of a large number of corporations mostly of a public service 
character, I was made secretary of a number of these companies 
managed by Stone and Webster and located in different parts of 
the country. In many instances I was also made a director. This 
work I continued without interruption until March, 1918, when I 
left to go to Washington, having added many more companies from 
time to time to the quota with which I had originally been entrusted. 
My seven years with Stone and Webster I consider a business ex- 
perience of immeasurable value. 

At various times during the last ten years certain other activities 
have occupied me. I was a member of the first Business Men’s 
Training Camp at Plattsburg in 1915. The Boston Evening Tran- 
script has occasionally seen fit to publish productions of mine on 
the editorial page. With Karl Cate, Norman Nash, and others I 
did considerable work on the Sexennial Report of the Class, which 


150 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


appeared in 1915. For two years prior to my going to Washington 
I was treasurer and trustee of the Carolina Industrial School, a 
school for poor whites in North Carolina. I am still a trustee. In 
1917, before the Belgian Relief work was taken over by the United 
States Government, I was a member of the Committee on Supple- 
mentary Rations of the New England Belgian Relief Fund. As 
an avocation I have found the study of music most entertaining. 
For four years prior to the war I actively pursued the vocal art and 
have been known even to appear in concert. I intend to resume my 
study at the earliest opportunity.

LOUIS GRANDGENT 


Address 44 Bromfield St., Boston, Mass. 
Occupation Architecture, Real Estate Development, and Construction, Grand-

TUDIED architecture at M. I. T., 1910-12. 
Worked in New York on design and construction of commer- 
cial buildings, 1912-13. 

Began independent practice in 1914 in partnership with S. Bruce 
Elwell, ’10 (a graduate of Cornell Architectural Department). 

Continuous service in the National Guard from 1907 to 1917. 

War Record: Promoted from Ist Lieutenant to Captain, Infantry. 
and assigned to 101st Infantry on departure of the regiment for 
France, in September, 1917. Commanded Company G for a short 
time during the training period in the Neufchateau area. Attended 
first course in lst Corps schools at Gondrecourt. 

My chief duty in the A. E. F. was at Army Candidates’ School at 
Langres, where I served from December 1, 1917, to March 1, 1919. 
This school (commanded by Colonel S. L. Pike, Infantry) was es- 
tablished for the purpose of training infantry platoon leaders to 
fill immediate vacancies in the fighting line. The candidates were 
enlisted men selected from the various organizations in France, a 
large proportion of whom had already seen service at the front. 
Beginning with an enrollment of 600 candidates in November, 1917, 


154 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


the school grew to nearly 5000 candidates on the day of the Armis- 
tice in November, 1918, after which it was gradually discontinued, 
having handled a total of nearly 10,000 candidates. Of these, about 
3000 were commissioned as Infantry Lieutenants before the Armis- 
tice, and about 2500 after the Armistice. Most of those who were 
commissioned before the Armistice, went into action, in command 
of platoons or companies, within a few days after leaving the school. 
There were seven courses for seven successive sets of candidates, 
partly overlapping each other. The normal course was three 
months; but during the fall of 1918, when the demands for platoon 
leaders were heavy, this was temporarily cut down to six weeks. 

In this school I served as Company Commander of the lst Com- 
pany in the first course, and thereafter as Assistant Director and 
Officer in charge of Tactical Training throughout the duration of 
the school. Samuel Vaughan, ’09, was associated with me in this 
duty. 

The following incidents were included in my service at Army 
Candidates’ School: 

Visited a French sector, as observer, in March, 1918. 

Made an official visit to the French Military Academy at St. Cyr 
early in July, 1918. 

Served as Company Commander, Company I, 30th Infantry (3d 
Division), during part of the Champagne-Marne defensive and all of 
the Aisne-Marne offensive, July-August, 1918. This assignment was 
intended to be primarily in the interest of Army Candidates’ School 
(for tactical observation), but owing to the active operations taking 
place at the time, this became entirely subordinate to responsibil- 
ities as Company Commander. 

Promoted Major, Infantry, October 1, 1918. 

Visited La Valbonne in connection with establishment of new 
Infantry Candidates’ School in November, 1918. 

Studied various battlefields after the actions. 

Of these incidents my service in the 30th Infantry was naturally 
the most interesting. My company took part in the defense of the 
Marne, and in the advance from the Marne to the Vesle. While in 
the front line of the attack it passed Les Franquets Farm (north 
of Jaulgonne and Chartéves), and was the first unit to enter the 
outskirts of Le Charmel. The experience gained was immediately 
turned to account on my return to duty at Army Candidates’ School. 


155 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


By October a new system of handling the platoon in attack had 
been formulated and embodied in the training, after being tested 
with marked success; but on account of the Armistice only a few 
graduates of the school had an opportunity to use this system in 
action. 

From March to June, 1919, assigned to Historical Section, General 
Staff, A. E. F., with the duty of supplementing existing historical 
and tactical data by study of parts of the St. Mihiel and Meuse- 
Argonne battlefields. 

Returned to United States in July, 1919, after twenty-two months 
foreign service.

During the summer of 1916 I built a submarine chaser and joined 
the Volunteer Patrol Squadron, organized by a number of Boston 
and New York men interested in preparedness, who agreed to build 
boats and turn them over to the government when necessary. 

I was commissioned Ensign, U. S. N. R., on March 22, 1917, and 
reported for active duty April 10, 1917, at Newport, R. I. I was 
placed in command of my old boat, S. P. 3, doing patrol duty off 
the coast until the end of May, 1917, when I was transferred to the 
staff of the Commander, Second District Naval Force. I served on 
shore duty and on the U. S. S. Massachusetts as the Commander’s 
aide. After about six months of this duty I was transferred to the 
Reserve Navy Yard at Newport as Executive Officer, to reorganize 
the yard and discipline nine hundred men. Several months later 
I was again transferred to Naval Intelligence, where I served as 
Assistant Aide for Information, 2d Naval District. 

In May, 1918, I was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant (j. g.), 
and in the early part of 1919 was transferred to the staff of the 
Admiral, Commandant of the Second Naval District, as his Senior 
Aide. These duties brought the entire demobilization of the Second 
Naval District on my hands, and on February 15, 1919, the Admiral 
recommended me for orders to inactive duty, and I was relieved 
before the recommended promotion to Lieutenant (s. g.) could be 
realized. I took my family for a brief trip to the West Coast and 
returned May 1, 1919.

wood (Ohio) territory, I was promoted to chief locomotive inspector, 
in charge of the inspection forces supervising locomotive construc- 
tion. It was my personal privilege to conduct the operating trials 
of two government locomotives built for use in France by the 
A. E. F. The engines were built to French designs and specifica- 
tions, and each one was given about three hundred miles’ breaking 
in under steam and hauling loaded cars before being knocked down 
and shipped overseas.

next two years in Auburn, Maine; and a year in Putnam, Conn. In 
1915 I spent six months with the United States Cartridge Company, 
Lowell, Mass., and six months with the Remington Arms Company, 
Bridgeport, Conn., from which I resigned to teach in Hartford, 
Conn. 

When the United States entered the war I went into airplane 
work in New York, and a little later joined the Curtiss Engineering 
Corporation of Garden City, L. I., as draughtsman and designer. 
Our problem was to get out a battle plane superior to any in ex- 
istence in speed and maneuvering qualities. Eventually the draw- 
ings were completed and several experimental machines were built, 
which proved their superiority by attaining a speed of one hundred 
and sixty-four miles an hour. The Armistice prevented this ma- 
chine from making a showing in the war. 

Since September, 1919, I have been principal of the Pembroke 
High School.

CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


1916, during which time I was instructor in pediatrics, later receiv- 
ing, the appointment of Fellow in Pediatrics in the Harvard Medical 
School. 

I was commissioned Lieutenant (j. g.) in the Medical Reserve 
Corps, U. S. N., in August, 1916. Attended the Naval Medical 
School in Washington, and in February, 1917, was commissioned 
Lieutenant (j. g.) in the Medical Corps of the Regular Army. 

After varied duties I was assigned to U. S. S$. New Hampshire 
of the Atlantic Fleet as assistant to the Senior Medical Officer. 
Once during practice, in March, 1918, five German submarines ap- 
peared between the New Hampshire and the Ohio. Immediately 
many five-inch guns were trained on the subs, causing a prompt 
disappearance. In April, 1918, I was assigned to the U. S. S. 
Minneapolis as Senior Medical Officer, and on the 25th she left 
New York for a transatlantic trip under secret orders. 

It developed that we were the sole protector of a convoy of forty 
ships, mostly tanks and slow merchantmen, speed eight to nine 
knots. The convoy was safely delivered to British destroyers fifty 
miles from the Irish Coast. We returned to New York, and after 
a short rest again sailed with a convoy of thirty-eight ships. On 
August 15, 1918, we started from the Philadelphia Navy Yard with 
a convoy of twenty-five ships. Everything went well until the 
morning we met the British destroyers, about twenty-five miles from 
Brest. Ten or fifteen minutes after delivery of the convoy to the 
destroyers we heard an explosion in the vicinity of the Dora, the 
largest of our charges, carrying mostly automobile trucks. Almost 
immediately her stern began to dip, and within two minutes she 
disappeared completely. Every vessel in the vicinity dropped “ash 
cans” and opened fire, but all in vain. 

It was our good fortune to be anchored off Staten Island, N. Y., 
at the time of the signing of the Armistice. The U.S. S. Minneapo- 
lis was later designated as the flagship of the Pacific Fleet, and on 
January 15, 1919, we sailed from Hampton Roads for the Pacific 
via the Panama Canal, reaching San Diego February 6. At this 
writing I am Fleet Surgeon of the Pacific Fleet and we are en route 
to Portland, Oregon.

HAVE been in the banking business practically all the time since 

leaving College. In the summer of 1914 a large amount of 
American gold, subscribed partly by New York banking houses and 
partly by the government, was shipped abroad to relieve American 
travelers who were experiencing great difficulty in cashing their let- 
ters of credit, travelers’ checks, etc. I had the good fortune to be 
chosen one of five representatives to cross on the Battleship Ten- 
nessee in charge of the money from the bankers. With one other 
man I was sent to Germany to arrange for payments of drafts 
drawn against letters of credit, and remained there during five 
exciting and extremely interesting weeks. Later, with some difh- 
culty, I returned to London, and since then have been abroad several 
times on business, and spent six months in the Scandinavian coun- 
tries prior to America’s entrance into the war.

to the Air Service on the next day. Sailed overseas on the Agamem- 
non on April 7, 1918. I was attached to the First Division as

intensive training at a small town near Calais, and after a few 
weeks we moved to Warluzel and were held in reserve as a part 
of General Byng’s Army Corps. 

At Warluzel I was promoted to the rank of Mess Sergeant, which

AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


Moved to Boston in 1914 and got a scholarship at the College of 
Physicians and Surgeons for teaching bacteriology and chemistry. 
In 1916 my degree was held up on a technicality, but was finally 
given in 1917. I passed the State Board examination in July, 1917, 
and have been practicing since. In October, 1917, was appointed 
resident physician, Beth Israel Hospital, Boston. Have visited 
clinics, hospitals, and health resorts all through the South, New 
England, and the Middle West, whenever possible undergoing treat- 
ments to study the results and see what the patient had to endure. 
Took a post-graduate course at the University of Alabama in 1917. 
I have studied endemic diseases and have done special work on 
hook worm, malaria, and pellagra. I hope soon to write a book 
on my research in social hygiene. 

I made application to the U. S. Medical Corps in July, 1917, in 
Kansas City, Mo.; passed both physical and mental examinations, 
but for some technicality my commission was knifed by Major 
Horace M. Arnold of Boston. I offered my services gratis to the 
Volunteer Medical Service Corps of the Council of National De- 
fense, and was an examining physician on the District Draft Board. 
I treated three to four hundred patients gratis through membership 
in the above corps during the “Flu” of 1918. I took charge of 
a “Flu” hospital for the Pennsylvania State Health Department in 
October and November, 1918, and lost but three patients during my 
stay. 

In June, 1918, I was commissioned Camp Surgeon, Lieutenant 
Commander of Camp Dewey, U. S. Junior Naval Reserve, near New 
London, Conn., and was also in charge of Medical Department of 
Camp Josephus Daniels at West Palm Beach, Florida, from January, 
1918, to January, 1919. I practiced privately in Palm Beach dur- 
ing that winter and was most successful. In the fall of 1919 I 
opened my present office in Boston.

FTER Class Day, 1909, I went abroad and attended the Ecole 
des Beaux Arts, Paris, and traveled extensively over the con- 
tinent of Europe, studying architecture and engineering. Returned 
to Boston in the fall of 1911 and entered the employ of Peabody 
and Stearns. On July 1, 1913, I formed a partnership with Charles 
G. Loring, 02, under the firm name of Loring and Leland, Archi- 
tects, and perhaps our most notable work is the Waltham Public 
Library. | 

On March 10, 1916, I was appointed schoolhouse commissioner 
for the City of Boston, but did not accept. In the summer of 1917 
I tried to get into the U. S. Army, but was unsuccessful on account 
of deafness. 

On December 11, 1917, I was called to the Council of National 
Defense at Washington, D. C., as architectural adviser of the Com- 
mission on Industrial Housing. There our problem was to increase 
war production by providing industrial employees. On the first of 
January, 1918, I became chief architect of the United States Ship-

On April 1, 1918, I was appointed assistant director of the Bureau

On March 1, 1919, I resigned as vice president of the Housing 
Corporation, and after a six weeks’ trip South, I returned to Boston 
and completed the dissolution of the firm of Loring and Leland. 

On June 1, 1919, I commenced business under the name of Joseph 
D. Leland, Architect and Engineer, at 185 Devonshire Street, Boston. 
Since the first of June my business has expanded rapidly, and be- 
sides the group of men who came with me from the old firm, I have 
added many of vast experience and ability, and now have an or- 
ganization which I feel can handle large and small work. At the 
present time our business comprises small and large residences 
(including landscape work), industrial housing, manufacturing 
plants, three hotels, a twenty-story building in New York, ae 
totaling approximately ten million dollars.

WENT to the First Plattsburg R. O. T. C. in May, 1917, and a few 

weeks later was commissioned 2d Lieutenant, Infantry. At the 
close of the camp in August I was sent to the 76th Division at Camp 
Devens, and became a member of Company D, 302d Infantry. 

About Christmas, having signed a paper saying that I could 
speak French, I was sent abroad for billeting duty, four officers 
from each division then in training in America, being sent over for 
the same purpose. On arriving in France we drifted about for two 
or three months, having no matured plans, and finally went to a 
small infantry school of twenty American officers as pupils and 
twelve French officers as instructors. Received orders to move in the 
middle of the course and became Assistant Zone Major at Chatillon- 
sur-Seine, Cote d’Or; later, Zone Major; and remained there until 
the zone was closed. We became a part of the Renting Requisition 
and Claims Service, organized in July, 1918, which was later chris- 
tened the “ Rest Recreation and Comfort Service,” not wholly justi- 
fied so far as we were concerned. 

Our Zone comprised fifty-eight towns in a territory of about five 
hundred square kilometers; in each town sites for stables, barracks, 
bathhouses, and drill fields had to be picked and the land leased. 
We made about two hundred leases. We had to prepare informa- 
tion for the advance party of a division, so that each unit would 
know exactly where to go. The Commanding Officer of each town 
appointed an officer to be Town Major; the Zone Majors super- 
vised the work of the Town Majors, which consisted in paying for 
billets, settling claims, and keeping a liaison between the civilians 
and the troops; the Town Major’s work all passed through our 
offices and we were responsible for it. 

After the last division had left and our zone was being closed, 


222 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


all U. S. Government property had to be inventoried and classified 
for sale to the French; and there were damages to be settled under 
our two hundred leases. When we were all through, except for 
about a week’s work, some one decided it was time to close the 
advance section, so 10,000,000 francs were paid to the French and 
all matters left to them to settle. We closed our zone in July, 1919, 
and I came directly home — in the steerage.

fantry, no man in which had seen less than three years’ service in 
the regular army. This regiment was at once broken up and sent 
to different parts of the country to train new units. I was assigned 
to the 42d Infantry, Fort Douglas, Utah, and on November 30, 1917, 
was transferred to the llth Infantry, 10th Brigade, 5th Division, 
at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., then preparing for overseas. We sailed 
from Hoboken on U. S. S. Leviathan April 24, 1918, and landed 
at Brest May 2, 1918. En route alternated with a Field Artillery 
Major as permanent Field Officer of the Day. The Field Officer of 
the Day commanded the interior guard of the ship (17 officers and 
334 selected enlisted men), and was responsible throughout his 
twenty-four hour tour that in case of accident or being torpedoed 
all of the 13,000 troops, crew, and nurses on board were gotten 
on deck, that all incipient panics were promptly suppressed, and 
that all water-tight doors were closed and kept closed until the ship 
sank. I had the last tour approaching the French coast and enter- 
ing Brest. Upon debarking joined the rest of the division in train- 
ing in the Province of Aube. When the German offensive of May 27 
started my division was sent to the Vosges to relieve veteran French 
troops. On June 2 we crossed the High Vosges and were the first 
American troops to enter Alsace. The civilian inhabitants went 
crazy with joy when they saw us and finally realized that American 
combat troops were in the trenches in Alsace. We were constantly 
in the trenches until August 29, when we started for the training 
area of Arches to prepare for the St. Mihiel Salient offensive. Dur- 
ing our tour in the trenches we changed the Vosges front from the 
Swiss border to St. Die from dead quiet sectors into active sectors, 
and drew many active Boche units into that quiet area. I com- 
manded an assault battalion in the St. Mihiel offensive from Sep- 
tember 12 to 16, 1918. 

Thence we went into support for the 64th French Division on the 
east back of the Moselle River at Pont-a-Mousson to strengthen the 
line. During the St. Mihiel my battalion received and broke up 
the only heavy counter attack made by the Boche. The entire 123d 
German Division hit us at 5 p.m. September 13 and kept attacking 
until 10 p.m., when their shattered battalions refused to attack 
again. 

During our four days in the Salient and ten days in support of 
the French we were constantly under very heavy shell fire without

I was one of four officers of my battalion out of nineteen who went 
over the top who were still ready for duty on September 16, and 
I was slightly wounded in several places and slightly gassed. On 
October 13 we went into support in the Forét de Hesse northwest 
of Verdun, and on October 13 relieved the 3d, 80th, and part of 
the 4th divisions on the Romagne-Cunel-Brieulle line. We attacked 
the morning of the 14th, taking Romagne and Cunel, and broke the 
strong Romagne sector of the Kriemhilde Stellung. We attacked 
again on the 15th, on both days hitting our old friends of St. Mihiel, 
the 123d German Division. I was wounded and badly gassed on 
October 15 and after two months in hospital was invalided home, 
arriving in U. S. December 31, 1918. Was discharged from the 
hospital April 22, 1918, but am partially disabled — possibly per-

Occupation Mechanical Engineer. 


N June, 1910, entered the General Electric Company, first at the 

Schenectady, N. Y., works, in the Testing Department in con- 
nection with railways and gas engines, and afterwards in the Rail- 
way and Traction Engineering Department. In January, 1912, was 
transferred to the Erie, Penn., works, in the Gas Engine Engineering 
Department. During this period I drove a gas-electric locomotive 
from Schenectady via Atlantic City to Seattle, Wash., covering 
the run from Chicago on in a number of hours less time than 
required by steam train, but the Pe of gasolene went up, so it 
did n’t prove anything. 

In May, 1914, I came to Washington and engaged in the design 
and manufacture of May-Nelson pumps until war was declared, 
when I closed the business. 

On August 15, 1917, I was commissioned lst Lieutenant in the 
motor section of the Ordnance Department and was ordered to duty 
in Kenosha, Wis., at the Nash Motors Company, the Holt Manu- 
facturing Company, Peoria, Ill., and at the Rock Island Arsenal. 
In December I took command of the 107th Mobile Ordnance Repair 
Shop of the 32d Division, Waco, Texas, until January, 1918, when 
I took the company overseas. 

Spent about three months in further training at the Camp de 
Coétquidan, in Brittany, before going to the front. The history of 
the division need not be repeated here; suffice it to say my job was 
to keep the artillery and small-arms shooting in proper shape until 
October 14, 1918, when I was relieved and made Inspector of 
Artillery, First Army. On December 4 I was again relieved and 
ordered to Mehun-sur-Yévre as Artillery Inspector, where I re- 
mained until I was ordered home and, ultimately, discharged.

CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


Commissioned Ist Lieutenant, Dental Reserve Corps, July 10, 
1917, and ordered to active duty to Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., on 
September 8. In the middle of March, 1918, was ordered to the 
Third Division, Regular Army, for overseas duty, and joined the 
7th Machine Gun Battalion, 3d Division. Left the U. S. on April 2, 
1918, and landed in France after a week or so in England. After 
five weeks’ training in the area occupied by the 3d Division, which 
had its Divisional Headquarters at Chateauvillain, we (of the 
7th Machine Gun Battalion, the divisional, motorized machine-gun 
battalion), on May 30, 1918, went up to the front on our own 
transportation, arriving in the city of Chateau-Thierry on Friday, 
May 31, 1918, at 5 p.m., the Germans having reached the heights 
and northern part of the city on May 30, 1918. We immediately 
took up our positions, and the battalion performed valiant work, 
guarding the two important bridgeheads on the Marne and effec- 
tively preventing (with the help of one battalion of French Colonial 
Infantry) the Germans from crossing the Marne then and occupying 
the whole city. After six days the battalion was relieved, and from 
that time on to July 15, 1918, we were all up and down the 3d _ Divi- 
sion front, which extended easterly from Chateau-Thierry for about — 
twelve kilometers. | 

On July 15, 1918, the Germans put on their expected offensive, 
and in the afternoon of that day, while on duty at the first-aid 
post, where all my work at the front was done, I was severely 
wounded during a heavy bombardment by a shell fragment. In time 
was evacuated as a casualty and went through hospitalization. Was 
discharged from Base Hospital 13 on September 30, 1918, as of 
Class B2, which meant that on account of injuries I was obliged to 
remain in the S. O. S. for sixty days before I could ask for another 
examination to see if I were fit to return to the front. Was there- 
upon assigned to duty in the S. O. S. to Base Hospital 20, from the 
University of Pennsylvania in the south central part of France. 
Along came the Armistice on November 11, and my request to 
rejoin my old battalion was refused as the Army of Occupation was 
on the march into Germany and orders were out against joining those 
units at this time. Accordingly remained on duty at Base Hospi- 
tal 20 until it ceased to function about the middle of February, 1919. 
Was promoted to Captain about the middle of February, 1919, and 
from then until the end of March was awaiting transportation out-

CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


Harvard. After leaving Harvard he graduated from Fordham Law 
School in 1915 and was admitted to the New York Bar in Jan- 
uary, 1916. 

In 1908 McKenna joined the 7th Regiment, New York National 
Guard, became Corporal in 1915, First Lieutenant in 1916, and 
served in Texas during that year. In October, 1916, he was Captain 
of Company D, 69th Regiment, New York National Guard, which 
regiment, after federalization, formed a part of the 42d (Rainbow 
Division) A. E. F. This regiment left Camp Mills for France 
October 25, 1917, and arrived on November 6. He was commis- 
sioned Major on June 6, 1918, in command of the 3d Battalion, 
156th U. S. Infantry. 

On the night of July 27 orders were given Major McKenna to 
cross the Ourcq River at Villers-sur-Fere on the morning of the 
28th and drive the Germans from the opposite bank, which was 
lined with enemy machine guns. The operation was carried out 
successfully, but with many casualties on both sides. Major 
McKenna was killed shortly after this action by the explosion of 
a German shell while directing the entrenchment of his men. 

He was awarded (posthumously) the Distinguished Service Cross 
for extraordinary heroism in action.

CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


N the Sexennial Report I have given an account of my general 
I occupation and manner of living from 1909 to 1915, and since 
1915 I have been leading a life along the same lines—the main 
purpose of which was and is to aid the activities of the Universal 
Brotherhood and Theosophical Society in its propaganda of theos- 
ophy and in its educational work embodied in the Raja Yoga Col- 
lege and School. The term “Raja Yoga” is an old Sanskrit term, 
and has the meaning of theosophy applied to daily life in the bal- 
ance of all the faculties of man, — physical, mental, and spiritual. 
Our Society has members all over the world, with sub-centers in 
England and her colonies, Sweden, Holland, Germany, France, 
Japan, Cuba, and Boston, and elsewhere. As there have been splits 
in the Theosophical Society as originally founded by H. P. Blavat- 
sky in 1875 in New York, one who wishes to follow up the subject 
of theosophy as we at Point Loma consider it should address him- 
self by letter to Mr. J. H. Fussell, secretary Universal Brotherhood 
and Theosophical Society, Point Loma, Cal. Mme. Katherine Ting- 
ley, originally of Newburyport, Mass., is Leader of the Society of 
which I am a member. 

I was not called to join the army when the United States entered 
the war in 1917, but since 1917 have done my best, in connection 
with the above Society, to help in the aid, entertainment, and en- 
couragement of the soldiers and sailors stationed in the vicinity of 
San Diego. As a member of a horn quartet, a mixed chorus, a band, 
and an orchestra, I have frequently taken part in the programs of 
entertainment given by our Society to the soldiers and sailors here. 
Our band gave frequent concerts at the barracks of Fort Rosecrans, 
commanding the entrance of San Diego Harbor; at our reading 
and writing room for soldiers and sailors in Balboa Park, San 
Diego; and at Point Loma. At most of these entertainments there 
were not only music, but also mixed social dancing, humorous 
stories, recitations, refreshments, and short speeches on moral and 
spiritual subjects. In this way I met personally many soldiers and 
sailors of different nationalities, and have many pleasant reminis- 
cences of face-to-face talks with them. Our grounds at Point Loma 
have been open free to soldiers and sailors for the last two years, 
so that many, especially on Sundays, have become thoroughly ac- 
quainted with our theosophical activities right close to the head- 
quarters of the Society. Mme. Tingley is the daughter of a Union

officer in the Civil War, and has had large experience in relief 
work of all kinds to soldiers and sailors, and so has known how 
best to treat and assist those who have been our guests at Lomaland. 

In my home life at Lomaland I am fond of collecting music of 
the classic and semi-classic sort, especially American music, and 
of collecting books. I have in my possession now some valuable 
books written in German, French, Swedish, Dutch, and Spanish, 
most of them treating of subjects of deep import to mankind, and 
written by the most celebrated authors. To those who are studying 
the conditions in South America I would recommend most highly 
their reading in the original Spanish, “ History of San Martin and 
of the South American Emancipation”; James Bryce, who calls San 
Martin the “George Washington” of South America, recommends 
especially the reading of this book (of four good-sized volumes). 
It is written by B. Mitre, a former president of the Argentine 
Republic, in a style which appears to me to be both majestic 
and world-wide in its grasp of human events. I am at present 
taking great pleasure in reading with my wife different parts of 
an Edition de Luxe set of the “Harvard Classics” by ex-President 
Eliot, and think that they are valuable for the continuation of one’s 
education after leaving College, certainly comprising, if not all, 
a great many of the most praiseworthy and substantial literary 
works of mankind since the historical period began. Also I have 
been swept into the encyclopedic movement which has fascinated 
the human race for the last century or two; I believe that the 
“Encyclopedia Britannica” has had the most sales of any large 
encyclopedia in the United States, but a donation was made to me 
of the 1918 edition of “The New International Encyclopedia,” 
published by Dodd, Mead and Company of New York, and which 
declares itself, in its preface, to be a thoroughly national work (supe- 
rior in the opinion of the editors to English and European encyclo- 
pedias). Whether the assertion of the editors is correct or not, I 
find it thoroughly fulfills my needs, and that it is very rich and 
copious in its treatment of all manner of subjects, — music, paint- 
ing, art, history, science, and other branches of human endeavor. 
I feel that a good encyclopedia is an almost indespensible feature in 
the home of any man who can afford the price of it, for it surveys 
tersely a very large part of the huge field of human activity, both 
past and present. 


247 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


We have extensive orchards here which supply fruit to the several 
hundred children and adults who reside at Lomaland; also large 
vegetable gardens. During the war period especially it was im- 
portant that we raise as much fruit and vegetables from our own 
grounds as possible, for our own consumption, and in times of 
peace we raise perhaps 80 per cent of the fruit and vegetables 
needed for our own consumption. For several years now I have 
spent a couple of hours or more a day in the vegetable garden or 
orchard; last season, with very little assistance, I picked and cured 
in lye about six hundred pounds of olives from our own orchard. 
I have had experience in many branches of orchard work, picking 
fruit of all kinds, such as figs, oranges, apples, peaches, plums, 
and some South American fruits, as guavas, loquats, and feijoas; 
in spraying to prevent insect pests; in irrigation, in cultivation, and 
so forth. In the State of California, the largest fruit-producing state 
in the Union, fruit growing is a very prominent industry, such as 
machine manufacture or textile manufacture is in other states; it 
is carried on along strictly scientific lines. Thus one feels oneself 
quite important in California when engaged in fruit growing, 
whereas in other places one might not get so much credit for it. 

I know there are at least a few graduates of the Class of 1909 
who are interested in Masonry. The Freemasons, as a general 
thing, are most friendly to, and appreciative of, the work of the 
Universal Brotherhool and Theosophical Society, because of so 
many aims and beliefs in common. From time to time Masons, 
often of a high rank, come to visit our work here and are given 
receptions, and they invariably leave with expressions of much 
sympathetic understanding of our school work and our theosophy.

Godward Hale Perry 


T the height of the first great German offensive of the spring 
A of 1918, Edward Hale Perry of Boston, First Lieutenant, 
Company D, Sixth Regiment Engineers, U. S. Army, was killed on 
March 30, near Warfarsee,— Abancourt, Picardy, France, while 
defending the Bois des Talifoux against the terrific plunge aimed at 
Amiens. , 

Lieutenant Perry was born in Boston, January 23, 1887, the son 
of Georgianna W. and the late Charles F. Perry. After completion 
of his College preparatory course, he traveled for a year in South 
America and Europe before entering Harvard with the Class of 1909. 
It might have been regarded as the natural thing for Perry, upon 
sraduation, to choose a path that would lead to a business or pro- 
fessional career at home, but there were in his character a solidity, 
a horror of sham, a contempt for the “soft” things, and a love of 
the open which caused him to be attracted to a life of stern and 
sturdy reality. Accordingly, he entered the graduate mining school 
at Harvard, and received the degree of Mining Engineer in 1913. 
In the meantime, two summers spent in Western mining camps had 
attracted him particularly toward the geological aspects of mining 
so that the latter part of his course was directed definitely toward 
mining geology. 

Because of his evident aptitude for geological problems, his men- 
tal and moral integrity, and his boundless enthusiasm, Perry was 
asked upon his graduation from the mining school to join the staff 
of the Secondary Enrichment Investigation. This he did, giving his 
services without compensation, though relinquishing in consequence 
an attractive opening in the geological department of one of the 
large mining companies of the Southwest. For two years he was 
thus engaged in intensive geological study of the principal copper 
mines of the country. During this period, his scientific develop- 
ment and his growth in judgment and poise made a profound im- 


270 


EDWARD HALE PERRY 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


pression on those most closely associated with him. And the value 
of his efforts and his spirit in the work of the organization is beyond 
measure or recompense. 

At the conclusion of the field work of this investigation in 1915, 
Perry joined Dr. Augustus Locke, who had been associated in the 
same research, and took up professional practice in mining geology. 
In this Perry met with instant and conspicuous success, winning as 
much by his personal force, his ready grasp of every phase of a 
situation, and his ability to bring men to his point of view, as by his 
conscientious study and keen understanding of the conditions of 
ore occurrence and his sanity in interpretation and recommendation. 

Notwithstanding his unusual success in commercial work, Perry 
maintained with keen relish and devotion his interest in the scien- 
tific aspects of geology. With Dr. Locke, he contributed a paper? 
on “ The Interpretation of Assay Curves for Drill Holes.” He sac- 
rificed time and income in order to spend two or three months each 
year in continuing his special research upon the relations of rock 
alteration to ore deposition. His last days at home, even to his last 
hour before going to Plattsburg, were spent completing in outline 
the record of four years of study upon this subject, which Dr. Locke 
and the writer of this inadequate tribute to his memory will enjoy 
putting into final shape for publication, and which is certain to 
prove a noteworthy and valuable contribution to the science. 

While Perry was in the midst of a professional engagement in 
Arizona, our country entered into the European War. He im- 
- mediately advised his closest associates of his intention to enlist, 
and as soon as he could, with added help, complete the work then 
in hand, he came East and entered the Officers’ Training School at 
Plattsburg, in May, 1917. In June, because of his technical training 
and experience, but particularly because of his application and 
ability, he was transferred to the Engineer Officers’ Camp at Wash- 
ington, and soon thereafter was commissioned First Lieutenant in 
the 6th Regiment Engineers, as reserve officer in charge of mining, 
sapping, and demolition. 

Perry’s work of instruction with his men won quick recognition 
and commendation. He was offered positions as instructor in this 
country, carrying with them higher rank than he could hope to 
reach in the regular army, but believing that his duty lay at the 


* Trans. (1916) 54, 93.

Front, he declined to consider them. He sailed for Europe in De- 
cember, 1917. In January, Companies D and B were detached 
from the rest of the Regiment and, because of the ability of their 
officers, were brigaded with the 5th British Army and sent to - 
Peronne to build heavy steel bridges over the Somme. While this 
work was going on, the Germans launched their great drive on 
March 21. For the ensuing few days it was the duty of the Engi- 
neers to stand by their bridges until the retiring British Army had 
crossed, and then demolish them. This they did, Perry and his 
platoon being the last to leave after the British Artillery had all 
passed. Then, on the 27th, these two companies joined that motley 
but determined and immortal band which General Carey, realizing 
the imminence of disaster to the entire Allied forces due to the 
crumbling and withdrawal of part of the British line, picked up 
and threw in to close the fast-widening breach. Lieutenant Perry 
had command of a section of the front line trench between Hamel 
and Villers-Bretonneux near the middle of this gap. 

The energy and devotion which Perry put into his work as a 
soldier, and the spirit and fine courage with which he faced and 
paid the Great Price, may best be revealed by extracts from letters 
written to relatives by his associate officers since his death. 


His fellow-lieutenant of Company B wrote: 


‘“‘T have never worked with a man who put as much spirit and 
energy into his work, and who inspired men under him, causing 
them to exert their best efforts to help a common cause. | 

“The officers and men who were privileged to know Edward feel 
that they have lost a true friend, and the men under him knew they 
possessed a leader of remarkable qualities, one who knew their 
wants and who cared for them before thinking about himself and 
his own comforts. 


Perry’s Captain said in part: 


“ During the previous months he was a tireless worker, never sat- 
isfied unless he was doing his own job and most of his neighbor’s. 
In the early part of March, when we were on heavy bridging opera- 
tions, he used to leave camp at 5 A.M. and return at 8 p.M., while 
two shifts of men worked under him; then he would spend a good 
part of the night on plans and lists of material. 

“No officer in the regiment was so trusted and looked up to by the 
men; they gave him their money to keep for them, asked his advice 
on all sorts of affairs, and besieged me with requests to transfer to 


2t2

his platoon. In his ability to get work done by leading instead of 
driving, he had no equal. And as a friend and brother officer, he 
leaves an unfillable gap that is brought to our attention every day. 
He had been recommended for promotion not long before his death. 

“He died as he had lived, helping others. It was Saturday, 
March 30. We underwent a good preliminary bombardment fol- 
lowed by the infantry attacks, supported by heavy barrages. Our 
trenches were pretty poor, as we had to get underground at the same 
time that we were keeping Fritz out of the way, and the artillery 
smashed a good deal of our defenses. A shell had demolished a 
traverse in Perry’s section of trench, killing four men. He was 
working in the gap repairing the damage with his own hands, when 
a bullet, probably from a machine gun in an enemy aeroplane which 
was raking the trenches, penetrated his skull. 

“We all feel that his place in this organization, which he helped 
to build up, will never really be filled, but we draw what satisfac- 
tion we can from the circumstances of his death; as we must all go 
some time, I know of no straighter, cleaner way than his.” 


Colonel J. M. Hodges, his regimental commander, has written: 


“ At a critical time during the German offensive in March, this 
organization was given a section of the front-line trench which was 
essential to the scheme of defense, and orders had been received that 
it was to be held at all costs. Lieutenant Perry was commanding 
a platoon of his company in the front line. He was killed instantly 
by a bullet through the forehead. At the time of his death, he was 
engaged in reconsolidating a section of trench that had been demol- 
ished by a previous bombardment and in arranging for the burial 
of his men who had been killed. 

“Lieutenant Perry was an excellent soldier and an exemplary 
officer. I had always considered him as one of the best, if not the 
best, of the young officers of the Regiment. He had real ability and 
could be counted on for results. At the critical time he did not 
weaken; I saw him shortly before he was killed; his conduct under 
fire was splendid and an inspiration to his men. His loss is felt 
deeply by all ranks. Thanks to him and to others, who like him 
paid the full measure of devotion to their country, our line was held 
until the critical situation in that vicinity was at an end. He died 
the true death of a soldier, with his face to the enemy.” 


As we now look back, it is easy to believe that this holding of the 
line of defense intact by General Carey and his men was a determin- 
ing factor in the outcome of the war. To have played so important 
and noble a part in this vital effort as that taken by Perry is as- 
suredly the privilege of few. Our lives, it seems, are like capital

entrusted to us to be expended as wisely and effectively as we may. 
With them we purchase whatever of accomplishment the stuff that 
is in us permits. It is impossible to escape profound regret that a 
career so full of the highest promise, and a personality so over- 
flowing with all that is fine and lovable, should have been cut short 
at the age of thirty-one. Yet who can doubt that in a few months 
Perry bought with his life the fullest achievement of a lifetime — 
a glorious part in the salvation of Liberty and Justice and Decency, 
indeed of Civilization itself!

N 1909 I began writing for Life and for magazines, and was 
I in the publishing business until 1917. 

In January, 1917, I applied for a commission in the Officers’ 
Reserve Corps. By December, 1917, I had been rejected by practi- 
cally every arm of the Service, for defective eyesight, but finally 
secured a First Lieutenancy in the Aviation Section, Signal Reserve 
Corps. I was promised field duty almost immediately and overseas 
duty in due time, but instead, I spent six months in Washington in 
charge of all draft matters affecting the signal corps, of overseas 
information, of the history of all American ships and engines, and 
of a large part of the personnel, and was involuntarily in the middle 
of the Hughes investigation. On July 20 I was promoted to Captain, 
Air Service, U. S. A., and on August 27 detailed to the office of the 
Secretary of War to represent the air service on the Industrial Fur- 
lough Committee, which was the only safety-valve on the draft. 

A week or two later was sent out to the field to study aerial obser- 
vation, and received instruction at Roosevelt, Commac, Hazlehurst, 
and Langley Fields, and Camp Lee Hall, flying in every type of 
American ships. I returned to Washington and received overseas 
orders two days before the Armistice was signed. On February 7, 
1919, I was recommissioned as Major in the Officers’ Reserve Corps.

Cas from the Harvard Law School in 1912, and after a

Since then I have been practicing law in New York.

REVIOUS to my coming to Harvard I had spent two years in the 
Yale Law School, and accordingly, when I had completed my 
academic work, I took a year at the Harvard Law School and 
subsequently was admitted as a member of the Massachusetts Bar. 
It was not my intention to practice law, however, and after leaving 
the university I continued in the advertising business I had developed 
while in College. In 1914 I was invited to take up the business 
management of the Menorah Journal. I accepted the invitation 
and made New York City my residence, where the headquarters of 
the Menorah Journal were established. I was in charge of this 
publication during the first two years of its existence. 
In 1916 I became interested in Community Drama, and was in- 


strumental in bringing “Calaban,” a Community Masque by Percy

MacKaye, to Boston, and served as assistant general director and 
as a member of the executive committee of the Calaban Committee 
of Greater Boston. This production was given at the Harvard 
Stadium before approximately one hundred and fifty thousand 
people, running through sixteen performances, during June and 
July, 1917. 

As a result of my interest in “Calaban” I became associated 
with the Civic Drama Association, an organization created to pro- 
mote civic drama nationally. I became its secretary and general 
director. In that capacity I made a transcontinental trip, taking 
up the promotion of civic drama with interested groups in St. 
Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago, Kansas City, Los Angeles, and San 
Francisco. Our gradual absorption with the war prevented the 
further development of this activity, and I offered my services 
to War Camp Community Service, a branch of the War and Navy 
Departments Commissions on Training Camp Activities. I was 
appointed as a Community Organizer, my services to begin April 1, 
1918, assigned to Lowell, Mass., and surrounding territory to or- 
ganize activities in behalf of the service men when off duty. I 
remained at this post throughout the war and the period of de- 
mobilization. Last November the citizens of Lowell associated 
in this work decided to continue such activities as were perma- 
nently useful on a peace basis and applied for incorporation under 
the laws of Massachusetts, as Lowell Community Service, Incorpo- 
rated. A charter by the state was granted last March. I am now 
acting as secretary of this organization.

CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


The Standard and Vanity Fair, familiar to all classmates in 
youth, after which I became the author of many classics on sport- 
ing topics, for example, “Ice Skating for Women, by Clare Cassell,” . 
and “My Ten Years in the Big Leagues, by Sidney J. Farrar, 
father of Miss Geraldine Farrar, the Prima Donna.” I also wrote 
a remarkable article by Alfred Greenough, ’08, entitled “Six 
Weeks on a Swordfisherman.” 

After my marriage in 1914 I entered the International Magazine 
Company, New York, and was successively circulation manager and 
editor of Harper’s Bazaar. In August, 1917, I enlisted as private; 
First Class, in the Signal Corps, Aviation Section; after training at 
Kelly Field, San Antonio, I was commissioned First Lieutenant and 
organized the 192d Aero Squadron; proceeded in command to Call 
Field, Wichita Falls, Texas, at which post I also acted as Member 
of General Court-martial, etc. In April, 1918, I was transferred 
to Washington, and detailed to duty in the Radio Section, Office 
of the Director of Military Aeronautics. Shortly afterwards, on 
applying for field service, overseas preferred, I was ordered to 
Brooks Field, San Antonio, where I was appointed Assistant Ad- 
jutant and Athletic Officer. In due process of time I became Post 
Adjutant and was promoted to Captain, Air Service, August 27, 
1918. 

Brooks Field developed in this country the “Gosport system” 
of flying instruction, which was a radical departure from earlier 
methods in that it introduced the speaking tube, and gave the stu- 
dent only one instructor throughout his course. This system, which 
was pooh-poohed by our friends at all other: schools, worked out 
so satisfactorily that in October, 1918, we had the satisfaction of 
having it officially adopted for all schools. At Brooks Field only 
instructors were trained; and these men deserve the greatest credit 
not only for their nerve and endurance in flying from four to five 
hours daily with students over periods of many months with few 
or no leaves of absence, but also for their self-sacrifice in aban- 
doning practically all hope of seeing overseas service. Not having, 
despite frequent and regular struggles with the revolving chair 
and other agreeable early Spanish inquisitorial tortures devised 
by the medical officers, been able personally to be placed on flying 
status, I have no hesitation in paying this small tribute to the in- 
structors in the Air Service.

AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


Athletics, from my standpoint, consisted in managing a baseball 
team composed of Jake May of the St. Louis Cardinals, Halligan 
of a recent Harvard team, and lesser lights from the Texas and 
other minor leagues. This team, entered in the city league, won 
considerable money for its backers, though we started inducting 
big league players just too late to finish with the pennant. In ten- 
nis we had at one happy moment George Church, C. C. Pell, ’08, 
and E. P. Larned, and were able to defeat all comers. Our official 
carrier pigeons provided all the expense, and some of the pleas- 
ures, of horse racing. Weekly sweepstakes were a feature. Air- 
plane trips and pleasant morning excursions to a point exactly one 
half mile above the office chair by the medium of a sausage bal- 
loon may also come under the head of outdoor sports. 

In January, 1919, I again left the Wild West (and there’s more 
life in it yet than we effete Easterners may conceive) and had an- 
other short tour of duty in Washington, where I helped to estab- 
lish U. S. Air Service magazine. I was discharged on March 4, 
and shortly thereafter entered the Morse International Agency, 449 
Fourth Ave., New York, where I now am. The better to conduct 
a literary and artistic life, I have just hired a house at Cedarhurst, 
Long Island; to adopt the cordial phraseology of so many class- 
mates in this entertaining book, my latchstring is always out for 
members of the class who may suddenly find themselves stranded 
without carfare in this refined suburb.

CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


Norman Prince 


IEUTENANT NORMAN PRINCE was born on August 3, 1887, at 
Prides Crossing, Mass. He prepared for College at Groton 
School. He completed the requirements for the degree of A.B. 
cum laude in three years, entered the law school in 1908, receiving 
the degree of LL.B. three years later. 

He took up the practice of law in Chicago, but devoted much of 
his time and attention to the study and practice of aviation at the 
time when flying was popularly regarded as a sport rather than 
as a practical utility. He foresaw the ultimate possibilities of aero- 
nautics for practical purposes, became an enthusiast in its scientific 
development, and an accomplished aviator. 

Shortly after the outbreak of hostilities in 1914, his love of ad- 
venture, combined with his sympathy with the cause of France, 
prompted him to go abroad. He sailed in December, 1914, and 
promptly offered his services to the French Government as a volun- 
teer in the French Army to serve until the end of the war. He ac- 
quired his preliminary training in military aviation at Pau, served 
for a short time in the Aerial Defense of Paris, and was then sent 
to the western battle front. At the beginning of his active service 
in France, Prince conceived the idea of bringing all the American 
aviators together with some of those of the foreign armies, into 
a single squadron. This enterprise, inspired solely by his initia- 
tive, developed the organization which was known at first as the 
Escadrille Américaine, and subsequently became the famous La- 
fayette Flying Squadron, which, after the entrance of the United 
States into the war, gained the distinction of carrying the first 
American flag that appeared on any of the battlefields. This squad- 
ron became famous for its skill and daring. The members were re- 
peatedly cited in army orders, individually and collectively, and 
for his fine individual conduct on the western front Prince won, 
successively, the Croix de Guerre, with Star and Three Palms, the 
Médaille Militaire, and the Cross of the Legion of Honor. He like- 
wise achieved the ranks of Sergeant, Adjutant, and Lieutenant. Up 
to the time of his death he had been engaged in one hundred and 
twenty-two aerial engagements with the enemy, and was of_licially 
credited with five Boche planes brought down and four others not 
officially recorded.

AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


On the morning of Thursday, October 12, Prince, and other mem- 
bers of his squadron, were assigned to convoy a French bombing 
fleet in an aerial raid on Oberndorf, a German arms and muni- 
tions center, located in the Vosges, near the plains of Alsace. 
While circling over the town they came in close contact with a for- 
midable array of German air craft, and a terrific encounter ensued 
in which shot and shell fire and skillful manoeuvering disabled 
many of the machines on both sides. It was at the conclusion of 
this battle in the air that Prince’s Nieuport machine struck an 
aerial cable while he was endeavoring to make a landing in the 
dark, within the French lines near Luxeuil. In this collision his 
machine was overturned and wrecked and he was thrown violently 
to the ground, sustaining a fracture of both legs and of the skull, 
from which he died on Sunday morning, October 15. The funeral, 
which was accompanied by all military honors, was held in Luxeuil 
Aviation Field, and was attended by a large representation of the 
allied military divisions, including French and English officers of 
high rank, and at the memorial service, which was held a week 
later in the American Church in Paris, the President of the French 
Republic, the heads of the executive and legislative branches of the 
government, and the Army, Navy, and Diplomatic Corps, were rep- 
resented by their most distinguished members.

AS employed in various departments of the Delaware, Lacka- 
wanna and Western Railway from graduation to my entrance 
into the service. 

I joined the second Plattsburg Camp, was commissioned Captain, 
assigned to Camp Dix for active duty, and after a brief stay in 
the Depot Brigade, transferred to the Foreign Officer Staff. Was 
given command of Co. D, 303 Motor Supply Train, and sailed for 
France in May, 1918. A month at Vitrey Haute-Sadne, and we re- 
ceived our equipment and joined the 29th Division in Alsace. Here 
the fighting was at a standstill. 

About the end of August we were ordered to join our own divi- 
sion, and arrived in Toul a few days previous to the St. Mihiel 
drive. In this offensive we followed the famous 2d Division, tak- 
ing over their sector. A month was spent holding the lines in 
front of Thiaucourt, during which time our division lost heavily 
from direct fire and gas shells, the position being a very poor one. 
The first of October marched to the Argonne and relieved the 77th 
in front of Grandpré and the Bris des Loges. The town of Grand- 
pré was taken and retaken some five times, and the casualties were 
extremely severe. Up to the time of the Armistice we were pursuing 
the Germans toward Sedan. Six months were spent at Semur-en- 
Auxois, and I received my discharge at Camp Dix June 12, 1919.

Long before this country entered the war “Nat” became an 
ardent advocate of preparedness. None of the men who attended 
a small Class Dinner at the Harvard Club of Boston in the fall 
of 1916 will ever forget his impressive prediction that in six 
months a majority of the men in the room would be wearing the 
uniform of the United States. Nat practiced what he preached.

tillery, M. V. M., in February, 1916, and went to Texas as Battalion 
Quartermaster, was stationed at El Paso, and served on the border 
for five months. While there he was elected Second Lieutenant 
of Battery B, and in May, 1917, First Lieutenant. 

On May 1, after his return to Boston, while still a member of 
the National Guard, he was detailed as aide-de-camp to General 
Clarence R. Edwards, then commander of the Northeastern De- 
partment, and continued to act in that capacity after being mustered 
into the service, sailing for France in September, 1917, as aide-de- 
camp to the commander of the 26th Division. He was promoted to

to B. H. Howell Son and Company, sugar bankers and engineers. 
The outbreak of the war terminated my connection with them, 
after an interesting experience in the Cuban revolution, spring of 
1917. | 

I joined in organizing a volunteer flying unit at Mineola, Long 
Island, the first of its kind in the country. We gradually enlisted 
twenty men as student aviators, and in April, 1917, this unit was 
immediately taken into the United States service as the First Re- 
serve Aero Squadron. We were the first aviation unit to go over, 
sailing for France in July. In Paris we were broken up and used 
in organization work, and I was handed the job of organizing 
and developing the training of all our aviators in aerial gunnery and 
combat. In December I turned the work over to a regular, and 
visited every important school in France, England, and Scotland. 
Was ordered to report to Tours to build the first American Gunnery 
School. Later I was sent to England to start a similar school there.

I was able to make short trips to the front, but my luck over the 
lines was nil. The Armistice found me still slaving in England, 
but by means of my plane I was able to divide my celebration be-

partment, Presbyterian Hospital, and assistant instructor in anat-

Commissioned in May, 1917, as 1st Lieutenant in the Medical Re- 
serve Corps; called into active service on June 11, 1917, and sent 
abroad the last of June on detached service with the British Expe-

Served three months in the Bapaume area, holding the line

when the German drive on March 21 started. After two days of 
very heavy fighting, we were withdrawn to reorganize, only four offi-

dred and twenty surviving this forty-eight hours. We were sent 
north to the Ypres area, and I was slightly wounded on March 22. 
Six days later we were holding the line where the April German 
offensive was staged, and in the middle of activities I was ordered to 
report to the American forces. For the next three months was sta- 
tioned at the American Red Cross Military Hospital No. 2 in Paris. 
In August I went into the field again with Mobile Hospital No. 3, 
working entirely in the Toul area. January found us running a

was associated with Wait and Copeland of Boston from 1913 
| until November 1, 1917, when the example of most of my friends 
led me into the service. 

Having an idea that I might get a pleasant vacation on the water, 
I naturally chose the naval reserve. I had my own ideas about 
rank; but as no one else seemed to agree with them, I became a 
boatswain’s mate, a position which in the navy calls for a large 
vocabulary and an effective delivery if little else. 

The vacation idea was quite successful at first, although Decem- 
ber was rather cool on the Maine coast. Being on a boat with a 
crew of fishermen I was able to become fairly proficient in my rating 
in so far as vocabulary was concerned. I found, however, that rat- 
ings didn’t amount to much; in fact, there weren’t any unrated 
men visible in the reserve at this time. 

In January of 1918, just as the cold weather was getting monoto- 
nous, I was notified that I had passed an examination for a com- 
mission, and was to report to Camp Hingham, Massachusetts. This 
seemed fair enough, as the camp was only about two miles from 
home. It turned out, however, to be less fair than it had appeared, 
for I had to sleep in a hammock, drill for several minutes each day, 


342 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


and attend illustrated lectures on venereal disease. This proved too 
much, and while home on liberty I came down with bronchitis. 
Even this dodge was unavailing, for the camp surgeons (so called) 
appeared with orders for my return, administered the usual salts 
and Brown’s mixture, and transferred me to the Navy Yard, where 
I promptly developed pneumonia. This resulted in the Chelsea 
Hospital, where I grew much worse, and was transferred to a 
civilian institution, with subsequent improvement enough to send 
me home. 

When I finally got out in March I found that some Bureau or 
other in Washington had overlooked the fact that the examining 
board had adjudged me twenty-five per cent blind in one eye and 
ninety per cent blind in the other, and that I was now an Ensign. 
Also, I found a nice new sub-chaser, the 270, just delivered from 
Lawley’s, waiting for me. 

The experience of learning navy paper work without an instruc- 
tor is a tedious one. Mine was particularly so, since we had a static 
electricity fire while fueling just as we were ready to go into com- 
mission, and had to fit out all over again. My survey board hap- 
pened to have a classmate as chairman and an appraiser who 
happened to be a business acquaintance, so that that part of it went 
off very well. 

Finally, the last of April, we got away for Portland, and the 
vacation plans began to loom large once more. Along about the 
first of June submarine sightings started to come in, with the result 
that we were kept busy day and night chasing rumors. It was 
fairly fortunate that they were rumors, as our armament consisted 
of two old Colt machine guns, six obsolete rifles, and four fifty- 
pound depth charges without means of discharging. 

A week or two later, in the middle of a convoy job, we were 
ordered to New London to fit out for foreign service. 

We spent a month getting our guns and chasing equipment and 
some sort of training in tactics. At the end of that time our group 
was sent to Fisher’s Island, in response to a cry for help from Fort 
Wright for protection against submarines. Our duties consisted 
chiefly in “standing by” a few futile night expeditions after sub- 
marines reported to be charging batteries in Gardiner’s Bay, and the 
destruction of floating mines, which invariably turned out to be net 
buoys gone adrift. 


343 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


After a month of this we went to Hampton Roads, and with eleven 
other chasers and a destroyer operated for a month between Mon- 
tauk Point and Cape Hatteras. We lost our flagship with practically 
all hands off Fire Island by gun fire from an American coastwise 
cargo carrier, and counted ourselves lucky to have got off whole, 
as we were very close at the time and the armed guard on the 
steamer had obviously lost their heads. 

About the middle of September we established contact with a 
sub some thirty miles northeast of Cape Hatteras, gave chase, and 
dropped our regulation pattern of depth charges. For two days fol- 
lowing we could hear the sub apparently trying to effect repairs 
and running pumps; but we were not allowed to drop any more 
bombs, as our commander happened to remember about this time 
that American submarines were supposed to be in the vicinity. 
Pending the arrival of divers from Norfolk, we continued watch- 
fully to wait; but before they arrived my division was ordered to 
Norfolk and thence to New London, this time really to fit out for 
foreign duty. No one got credit for a German sub on this coast, 
consequently I have the impression that we dropped charges on one 
of our own vessels. American submarines, in contact with chasers, 
usually submerged — at least in the several cases with which I am 
familiar — instead of giving the prescribed signals, and of course 
drew the full force of whatever measures were available against 
them. 

On September 25 we started for Bermuda and the Azores: twenty- 
four chasers, of which six were French, with an escort consisting of 
a repair ship, a tanker, and several towboats. The trip was un- 
eventful with the exception of the loss of the S. C. No. 219, which 
caught fire while fueling at sea and sank with the loss of five men. 
We were supposed to have sighted a sub some four hundred miles 
this side of the Azores, but a chase proved unavailing. 

The day following our arrival at Ponta Delgada, five of us — the 
only ones able to turn over motors—ran down some four hundred 
miles towards Madeira on a wild-goose chase after an S. O. S. call 
several days old. 

We eventually made Leixoes, near Oporto, Portugal, a very much 
scattered little fleet after what, for ninety-ton boats, had been a 
pretty rough passage. 

Some of the chasers got to Gibraltar just before the Armistice, 


344 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


in time to take part in the barrage in the Straits, in which five Huns 
were said to have been accounted for. We were unfortunate enough 
to have been held in Lisbon to run down the coast in company with 
a British Q-boat. 

We lay in Gibraltar until a few days before Christmas, when we 
sailed for what we thought was home, via the Azores and Virgin 
Islands. We were eventually scattered at various points around the 
West Indies, my boat being sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a most 
unpleasant spot, with no advantages unless an unlimited supply of 
rum be counted such. 

The middle of February the blessed release, sought for in many 
official communications and prayed for since the Armistice, arrived. 
Consequently I “ proceeded via the most available transportation,” — 
which happened to be a navy collier to Hampton Roads, and ended 
my naval existence (I hope) with no loss of time and much 
thanksgiving. 

Since then J have been in Portland, Maine, practicing architecture 
independently and as a member of the firm of Poor and Thomas.

Goodwin Wlarner 


IEUTENANT WARNER prepared for College at the Noble & Green- 
L ough School in Boston. His chief interest was natural history, 
which developed as a result of many years spent out of doors and 
in the woods during his early life, in an attempt to overcome a 
most distressing form of chronic asthma, from which he suffered

CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


constantly, at times acutely, but of which none but his most inti- 
mate friends were aware on account of his unfailing cheerfulness, 
and his dislike of complaining about his own. afflictions. He was 
an authority on the birds of New England. 

After leaving College, finding that he could not perform office 
work with sufficient regularity, he took up farming at Littleton,’ 
Mass., and in the face of adverse conditions managed to make both 
ends meet for several years. 

In June, 1917, feeling that his duty lay overseas, he sailed for 
France to offer his services in whatever capacity he might best 
fit. He was shortly appointed “Commandant Adjutant” in the 
American Field Service Motor Transport Unit 184. On July 5 he 
was promoted to Sergeant in the Ammunition Transport of the 
American Field Service, and then attended the Officers’ Training 
School of Automobile Service at Meaux. On October 1, 1917, he 
enlisted as a private in the Quartermasters’ Corps, A. E. F., was 
shortly commissioned Second Lieutenant, and on December 18, 
1917, became Commanding Officer of Motor Transport Com- 
pany 360, which formed part of the organization known as the 
“Mallet Reserve,” and with which he saw a great deal of active 
service, being frequently under heavy shell fire for long periods 
without opportunity for rest or sleep. In June, 1918, after return- 
ing from a long tour of exacting duty, during an epidemic of 
influenza, which greatly reduced the strength of his group, his com- 
mand was again called out on convoy duty. Although beginning 
himself to feel the effects of the disease, he remained with his com- 
mand against the protests of many, was out two nights and a day, 
and shortly afterwards developed a severe case of pneumonia, 
from which he died at Camp Hospital No. 4, on June 29. 

The following tribute was paid by his commanding officer, Major 
R. Mallet, at the funeral, which took place at Suresnes, France, 
on July 1: 

“As commanding officer of this reserve it devolves upon me to 
pay a parting tribute of respect and affection to our dear friend, 
Lieutenant Warner, who has been taken from us so suddenly. 

“Thirteen months have elapsed since Goodwin Warner joined the 
Reserve .as a volunteer. Although his health was far from per- 
fect, he was so anxious to serve the noble cause we are all fighting 


for that he joined the American Field Service as soon as his country: 
had declared war. 


358 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


“In a very short time he was promoted, first to a Sergeant, next 
to the command of a section. In October he graduated from the 
Officers’ ‘Training School of the Automobile Service, and enlisted 
in the American Army. He then got his commission as 2d Lieuten- 
ant, and in 1e following March he took Company 360 into the field. 

“On June 22, on the very day on which he fell ill, he was pro- 
moted to the command of a growpe of four companies, and serving 
in this position he would soon have become a captain. 

“ His fellow officers cannot speak too highly of him as a good and 
trusty friend. His men have always known him as a kind and re- 
liable leader. © 

“As for myself, it is my desire to acknowledge before you the 
deep debt of gratitude the French Army owes to Lieutenant Warner,

I started in the insurance business. In March, 1915, I entered into 
partnership with Arthur L. Potter, and on July 3, 1918, we organ- 
ized a corporation under the title of Potter and Watkins, Inc., doing 
a general insurance business. 

My political career was brief, consisting of two terms as a mem- 
ber of the Malden Common Council. Inasmuch as it included a 
libel suit against the local paper, which I won, it was not without 
interest. 

I was instrumental in organizing the Second National Bank of 
Malden with the assistance of a prominent Boston attorney. Spent 
many months perfecting plans, selecting directors, and getting our 
charter. My war work consisted simply of acting as associate on 
the Legal Advisory Board.

URING the first three years after graduation combined the study 
D of law at the Harvard Law School with duties of assistant in 
history at Radcliffe College, and service upon the editorial board 
of the Harvard Law Review. Since graduation from the law school 
I have lived in New York City, where, in August, 1912, I entered the 
law office, with which I am still connected. 

I served as a private in the 9th Coast Artillery Corps of the New 
York Guard. Also did some interesting work in connection with 
the transfer and registration of ships, in the drawing of ship con- 
structing contracts, and in the financing and organization of ship- 
building companies.

MMEDIATELY after graduation I spent eleven enjoyable months 
| traveling in Europe, Asia, and Africa, after which I entered the 
banking firm of Tucker, Anthony and Company of Boston at a 
salary of five dollars a week. I was so successful in cleaning ink- 
wells and such that I soon received a one hundred per cent increase 
with a corresponding increase in responsibilities. In 1912, at the 
time of my marriage, I went into business for myself as insurance 
broker, associated with OBrion, Russell and Company in Boston. 

I attended the First Reserve Officers’ Training Camp in Platts- 
burgh, and in 1917 was commissioned Ist Lieutenant of Infantry, 
and assigned to Motor Truck Company No. 1 (later Company A) 
of the 301st Ammunition Train, 76th Division, at Camp Devens. 
Christmas, 1917, found me in command of my company without my 
captain, who had gone overseas. The month of February, 1918, 
I spent in the Base Hospital with cerebrospinal meningitis, but 
pulled through, and by the middle of March was back again super- 
vising range work. The illness had spoiled my chances of getting 
overseas, and in May I became Commanding Officer of Company B,

Edward Sohier, Jr., Nov. 4, 1916. 


ENTERED the law office of my father, Mr. Francis C. Welch, on 

August 1, 1908, where I worked and studied until my marriage 
in June, 1909, which was followed by a motor trip through Great 
Britain and Northern France. Upon returning, I entered the law 
school of Boston University, which enabled me to work also at the 
office, and since graduation in June, 1911, with degrees of LL.B. 
and J.B. until the outbreak of the war, my life has been devoted 
to my family and my business. 

In 1916, feeling that actual hostilities were imminent, I joined 
the Naval Training Cruise, being better qualified to serve in the 
navy through many years spent on the water in small boats. 

In March, 1917, I received a U. S. Pilot’s license, and upon 
the actual declaration of war, taught seamanship classes of the 


363 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


Boston Power Squadron, and later joined the Volunteer Harbor 
Patrol. On June 28 I enrolled as a full Lieutenant in the U. S. 
Naval Reserve, 3d Class, with the position of Executive and Navi- 
gating Officer of U. S. S. Guinevere, a three-masted auxiliary steam 
yacht of five hundred tons. Following a period of fitting out at 
Hoboken, we left New York on July 30, only partially prepared 
for active service, and after an unsuccessful attempt to carry away the 
new Hellgate Bridge, arrived safely at Newport for coaling. We 
left Newport August 4, and about a week later sailed out of St. 
Johns, Newfoundland, into a Grand Banks fog, bound for the 
Azores, in company with six other yachts, —U. S. S. Alcedo flag- 
ship, and the Wanderer, Corona, Carola, Emeline, and Remtick. It 
was our first experience with fog at night, running without lights 
or fog signals, crossing at right angles the busiest ocean lane of the 
Atlantic, and none of us will forget those watches. A week later 
we arrived safely at Ponta Delgada on the island of St. Michaels. 
without especial incident. 

Here we found the Americans were regarded as the saviours of 
the city. It seems that two weeks previously a large German U-boat 
had started to bombard the town, creating a panic. The U. S. S. 
Orion, a collier, was undergoing repairs inside the breakwater, her 
stern just visible over the top. They brought her stern gun into 
play, and after a lively exchange of shots, neither side doing any 
visible damage, the submarine withdrew. Presto! The town blos- 
soms out with “Orion Cigarettes,” “Orion Hotel,” “Orion Café,” 
and so forth. The result when the men from our fleet received shore 
leave for the first time in seven days can be more easily imagined 
than described. On the second day I was sent ashore as Beach Patrol 
Officer, that is, in command of the police force landed from our ships 
to keep order. It was a strenuous night, and when I finally turned 
in at 2 A.M., after trying to explain to the commander why forty 
riots took place simultaneously at forty different places, at only one 
of which I was personally present at any one time, I was ready to 
advocate prohibition (for others) with all the fervor of a Chau- 
tauqua lecturer. 

Leaving Ponta Delgada we at last learned that we were bound for 
Brest. One submarine scare, which proved to be a floating spar, 
one raider scare, which turned out an innocent merchantman, and 
one false periscope mounted on what was probably a mine, was 


364 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


followed by a storm which swept the French coast with a fury which 
the natives afterward told us had rarely been equaled. Two days 
and nights of it brought us on the third day to Brest. Here we were 
given a week to rest and refit. We were then given a French pilot 
and assigned to the coastwise convoys. 

At about 1 P.M. of the first day of a tour of duty we would run 
from the Rade d’Abri at Brest across the Grande Rade to Ros- 
canvel, at which were anchored a great fleet of merchant ships, 
ranging from small coal carriers to five-thousand-ton ocean liners, 
transferred to trade operations. From here about two hours before 
sunset we would get under weigh in company with from ten to 
thirty steamers, one other yacht, and a French or English trawler. 
Passing through the narrow Northern passage between the most 
westerly point of France and Ushant Island we would, about dark, 
reach the English Channel. Standing over for Wolf Rock or along 
the coast toward Cherbourg, as the case might be, the coast in 
complete darkness as far as navigational aids were concerned, ex- 
cept for here and there a major light, every boat darkened to the 
utmost possible extent, carrying merely a dim blue light on the 
taffrail visible only directly astern for the vessel behind to follow, 
in waters infested with submarines, and constantly in danger of 
collision with one of our own convoyed ships consisting of every 
nationality, the wonder was that accidents did not occur on every 
trip. 

About midnight, if the convoy to be met was not sighted, we 
would return to the vicinity of Ushant, and usually managed to 
connect about daylight with the Southbound convoy, which was then 
taken into Brest, arriving about noon. That afternoon the same 
ships would be convoyed under the same conditions southward to 
Quiberon, arriving in the early morning. It was on one of these 
trips later that four ships were sunk in one convoy. The yachts 
were really no protection, being too slow and too few. Their real 
duties were as guide boats with a certain moral value. At Quiberon 
we usually managed to get ashore for a couple of hours, and before 
sunset started north with another convoy which had been brought 
up from the south the previous night. Later this system was 
changed to daylight convoys, as it was felt that the ability to see 
the submarine and thus attack it offset the advantage of a more or 
less problematical invisibility.

CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


On the 16th of October, 1917, I was ordered ashore on the staff 
of Admiral W. B. Fletcher, the commander of the U. S. Patrol 
Squadrons operating on French coasts, as Patrol Officer of Brest. 
In addition to the duties of policing the city, the extreme shortage of — 
officers at this time made it necessary for this officer to attend to 
several other departments, and at one time in December, just before 
we began to get the needed men, I had charge of the Signal Station, 
the depth-charge station, the ammunition storage and issue, the post 
office, the communication with vessels by means of launches, — much 
the worst job of all,— was Base Censor, Commanding Officer of 
the U. S. S. Carola IV, the base barrack ship, and judge advocate 
of the General Court Martial for officers, besides acting informally 
at times as liaison officer with the French, owing to a limited knowl- 
edge of the language, and later having charge of the “ morgue,” an 
old washroom which I had corralled from the French. 

About November 4 our first destroyers to be based at Brest ar- 
rived, and about the 11th the first transports, —the Mount Vernon, 
Agamemnon, America, and Von Steuben. This threw onto the 
beach daily some eight hundred sailors on liberty, and with my 
limited force of untrained men assigned from the various ships each 
day for patrol duty, the problem of keeping order was serious. 
Only one outbreak occurred and that with the Portuguese. We 
closed about one quarter of the town to the navy for ten days and 
thereafter had little trouble, as the tradespeople saw to it that our 
men were well treated, for the loss of their custom was disastrous. 
Another source of constant trouble lay in the French regulations 
against the sale to any man in uniform of drinks containing more 
than twenty-three per cent of alcohol, and the sale of any alcohol 
except at certain hours. Practically all of the cafés disobeyed 
these orders, and the remedies consisted in arresting any of our 
men found in the cafés out of hours, or in possession of hard 
liquor, and in having the French authorities close the offending 
cafés. | 

On December 6 I was ordered to command the U. S. S. Carola IV, 
the ship used as a barracks for men on shore duty, and in con- 
junction therewith I managed to get a permanent force of police 
ashore, consisting of a chief petty officer and twelve seamen. The 
change in conditions was most marked, for they played no favor- 
ites, were picked men, and were feared and respected. The record

Towards the end of March I received word of my father’s serious 
illness, and immediately conferred with Admiral Henry B. Wilson, 
than whom no finer officer lives, as to my duty and his powers in 
the circumstances. Upon receipt of still more alarming reports 
I was reluctantly forced to the conclusion that I must go home, 
and through the never-to-be-forgotten kindness of the admiral I was 
enabled to return, sailing on April 8, 1918, on the U. S. S. Mount 
Vernon, in company with Secretary of War Baker, the only other 
passenger. Father’s condition proved so serious that upon presen- 
tation of the facts to the Navy Department I was placed on the in- 
active list on May 2, 1918, and got back into harness. He never 
came to the office after my return, and died February 21, 1919, since 
which time I have carried on the business alone. My resignation 
from the Naval Reserve Force was accepted on July 11, 1919.

WILLIAM GREENOUGH WENDELL 


Address Care Barrett Wendell, 358 Marlborough St., Boston, Mass. 

Occupation Assistant Secretary Guaranty Trust Co. of New York, 140 Broad- 
way, New York City. 

Married Ruth Appleton, Ipswich, Mass., Oct. 7, 1914. 

Children Francis Appleton, July 12, 1915. 


N October, 1909, I went to work as a clerk in the National Com- 
mercial Bank, Albany, New York. There I remained for a year, 
in various departments of the bank. In October, 1910, I went to 
the Guaranty Trust Company of New York and remained there ap- 
proximately two and one half years, in the Foreign Credit and Trust 
departments. In June, 1913, I returned to Boston, and after a two 
months’ vacation became assistant secretary of the Paul Revere Trust 
Company, and solicitor of accounts in the uptown branch. Thence 
x entered the office of R. M. Bradley and Company, real estate 
trustees. 

After two years’ work in Bradley and Company, where my pros- 
pects did not develop so brightly as I had hoped, I was surprised 
and delighted to be offered a place with the Guaranty Trust Com- 
pany of New York, as their representative in Boston. I rejoined 


368 


AUTOBIOGRAPHIES AND ADDRESSES 


my old company in May, 1916, and after a course of “sprouts” at 
the main office, opened an office in Boston in August, 1916, where 
I was in charge for a period of about five months. I was then 
transferred to Paris to assist in the organization of the office which 
the Guaranty Trust Company was about to establish. 

I sailed for France at the end of January, 1917, on the S. S. 
Ryndam of the Holland-American line, and was on the water when 
the German government announced its policy of torpedoing all 
ships without warning. Although bound for Falmouth, the captain 
decided that it was dangerous to endeavor to reach a British port, 
and in consequence, when about four hundred miles from the 
_ Trish Coast, and after considerable deviations from the usual trans- 
atlantic course, turned his ship about and returned to New York, 
which we reached after seventeen days at sea. I sailed again early 
in March, and this time reached Paris without incident. 

The office of the Guaranty Trust Company in Paris was opened on 
July 2, 1917, and I remained there in the capacity of secretary until 
September, 1918, when I received a commission. 

After America came into the war the business of the company 
grew very rapidly, owing to the large number of accounts of officers 
and men of the American Expeditionary Forces, which flowed in 
from all sides. In addition, the company was made the official de- 
positary in France of the Quartermaster Corps, and replaced the 
Treasury Department for all official disbursements in France. The 
dificulty in obtaining an experienced staff, and the fact that the 
work was of real usefulness to the American Army, caused me to 
remain with the company for a longer period than I desired, and 
I sometimes felt that I was the only man of my age not in uniform. 
At the same time, I had the feeling that the work I was doing was 
probably more useful than anything else. New problems constantly 
required solution, and the frequent bombing of Paris and the bom- 
bardment by the long-range gun brought an occasional flavor of the 
battlefront, which gave an added zest to the banking business. In 
May of 1918, when the last great German attack seriously menaced 
Paris, there were some very bad moments, but, on the whole, life 
in Paris was far more normal than one would have supposed in 
view of the terrible sufferings of France. 

In August, 1918, I was able to leave, and received a commission 
as First Lieutenant of Infantry, assigned to the Intelligence Section, 


369 


CLASS OF 1909—THIRD REPORT 


and stationed in Paris. The Counter Espionage service of the Amer- 
ican Army was being rapidly developed, and had the war continued, 
would have been an increasingly important branch of the service. 
It was not perilous, but interesting, although in a very large num- . 
ber of the cases which we investigated the “suspects” proved to be 
without harmful influence. 

When the Armistice was signed the work of the Intelligence Sec- 
tion stopped for the moment, as the class of people that we were 
interested in ceased to be of importance from a military standpoint 
of counter espionage. In consequence I was very lucky to be re- 
lieved from the Intelligence Section, and to be assigned to the 
American Commission to Negotiate Peace, in the capacity of assist- 
ant to the Honorable Joseph C. Grew, Secretary of the American 
Commission. This was in the middle of November, 1918, prior to 
the arrival of the president and the remainder of the commission. 
The work consisted largely in making every plan for the housing, 
transportation, etc., of the commission. Later I strove to take from 
Grew’s shoulders as much detail as possible. | 

Though the place was interesting, I was very desirous of return- 
ing to the Guaranty Trust Company, and was able to obtain my 
honorable discharge from the army in France on January 6, 1919. 

The main office then consented to my return, and I sailed at once, 
arriving home again on January 28. Shortly after, I was made an 
assistant secretary of the Foreign Department of the company, in 
New York, which position I now hold.

RECEIVED my degree at the end of Junior year, and in the fall of 

1908 entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New 
York. Spent the following summer abroad, and in June, 1912, re- 
ceived my degree with honors, ‘and was elected to the honorary 
society of Alpha Omega Alpha. July, 1912, I entered Roosevelt 
Hospital as interne on the Ist Surgical Division and served there for 
two years. Went to Ogdensburg, N. Y., on a two months’ appointment 
as Attending Surgeon to the City Hospital, and on September 1, 
1914, I began to practice in New York. Appointed to the Out- 
Patient Departments of the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled, 
Roosevelt Hospital, and the Neurological Institute, and Instructor in 
Surgery in Columbia University. In 1915 I was appointed Ortho- 
pedic Surgeon to the Lincoln Hospital. In September, 1916, I be- 
came visiting orthopedic surgeon to the New York State Health 
Department, giving three days a week to special clinics on the after 
care of Anterior Poliomyelitis throughout the state. 

Was commissioned Captain M. O. R. C., U. S. A., April 26, 1917; 
ordered into active service May 10, and sailed for England May 14, 
as orthopedic surgeon to the Presbyterian Unit of New York, 
U. S. R., Base Hospital No. 2, which was the second unit to arrive 
abroad. Arrived in France May 30, and took over General Hos- 
pital No. 1, B. E. F., at Etretat, S. I. I was shortly transferred to 
general surgery, and in November, 1917, sent up the line as head 
of a surgical team, serving through November and December, dur- 
ing the end of the Passchendaele offensive, the Cambrai offensive, 
and the Boche counter attack at Cambrai. 

In February, 1918, I was transferred to the A. E. F., and detailed 
to Base 15 at Chaumont, as orthopedic surgeon. When the spring 
drive started I was sent to the French as assistant on an operating 
team, and spent the last two weeks of April and all of May in the 
Asile des Aliénés, near Amiens. The hospital was a French Mobile 
Unit for the treatment of the very “ gravement blessés.” After two 
weeks at Chaumont as surgical director, I was again sent out on an 
operating team, this time to Evacuation Hospital No. 7 at Coulom- 
miers. After the July 15th offensive we established a record for 
number of cases handled and operations performed, passing through

letter of commendation from General Pershing. 

On August 11 we were transferred to Mobile Hospital 2, at 
Coincy, near Fére-en-Tardenois. From there we went with the unit 
to Recourt, for the St. Mihiel drive, and at the end of September 
to Rarécourt, where we served as a hospital for non-transportable 
cases from the Argonne. I was made head of the operating team 
in September. October 18 I was transferred to Evacuation 6, and 
saw the end of the war at that garden spot of France — Souilly. 

In December I was transferred back to my original unit at 
Etretat, and after three weeks in Brest, when Camp Pontanezen was 
at its heyday, came home on the Agamemnon, and was mustered 
out at Camp Meade, February 13, 1919. Now that all these pleas- 
ant diversions are over, I have settled down to the practice of bone, 
joint, and orthopedic surgery, assisting my father, and serving as 
orthopedic surgeon at the Lincoln Hospital.

School at the same time and receiving the degree of M.D. in 1914. 
During those years, in addition to Athletic Association work I have 
assisted in coaching the football teams and have acted as an assist- 
ant to Dr. Roger Lee, Professor of Hygiene in physical examina- - 
tions of the members of the Freshman class. 

After Class Day, 1915, I went to England and then to France with 
the First Harvard Surgical Unit, serving as a Lieutenant with that 
unit for three months with the British in France. Returned to 
Boston in November, 1915, and served for twenty months on the 
Third Surgical Service at the Boston City Hospital as an interne. In 
the fall of 1916 I went to the University of Wisconsin as an assistant 
professor of physical education, and coached the University foot- 
ball team with moderate success. Returned to the Boston City Hos- 
pital in December, completing my service in July, 1917. In the 
meantime I had been commissioned in the Medical Officers’ Reserve 
Corps as a Lieutenant attached to Base Hospital No. 7. 

In September, 1917, I was sent as physical training officer to 
Camp Funston, where General Leonard Wood was in command of 
the 89th Division, and I served on his staff until the division went 
abroad. In November, 1917, was commissioned as Captain, and 
transferred to the 354th Infantry as a medical officer. Landed in 
England in June, 1918, and spent July in training near Chaumont. 
August 5, 1918, we relieved the 326th Infantry in the Lucy Sector 
in front of the Toul area. I remained in the line during August, 
and just before the St. Mihiel operations I was detached as a 
special officer in charge of traffic regulations. Participated in the 
Meuse-Argonne offensive as medical officer, having rejoined my 
regiment. We were in the line from October 19 to November II, 
taking part in the November Ist Drive and crossing the Meuse above 
Stenay. 

After the Armistice I again became Athletic Officer of the divi- 
sion, in which capacity I served until the division left Germany in 
May, 1919. I then joined the A. E. F. crew squad in Paris, and 
during June and July coached the American eight and stroked the 
four at the English Henley and in the Interallied Races in Paris. 
I also represented the A. E. F. in the sculling races at these regattas. 

I returned to the United States, and was discharged from the army 
in August, 1919. I had been commissioned Major in April, and 
while in the service received the French Croix de Guerre, and a cita-

on August 7-8, 1918, and November 2-3, 1918, respectively.
